Democratic Attorney General race in US: Shannon Liss-Riordan pumps $93 million for campaign

Democratic race for Attorney General (AG) on Tuesday became the marquee contest, with Maura Healey remaining unchallenged for the nomination for governor. In her Democratic primary battle against Andrea Campbell for attorney general, Shannon Liss-Riordan has poured 93 million dollars of her funds into her campaign. There is a tough close race between Riordan, a prominent labor lawyer with a long record of winning class-action cases involving low-income workers, and an ex-Boston city councilor and nominee for mayorship, Campbell.

Liss-Riordan has made substantial gains in current votes by blowing the town with ads, filling letter boxes, and emails with campaign promises. Campbell, who criticized Liss-Riordan for using millions of dollars in legal compensations to fund her campaign, repeated those accusations after the new figures came out. Campbell said that Campbell's opposition had been trying to buy 2022 elections with near to ten million dollars in spending, but her drive is grassroots and people-centric, and she is meeting voters everywhere and anywhere they are.

Lisa had already informed three million dollars in campaign donations before filing her August fiscal statements, which shed light on the matter of contenders using their funds to win the election. Palfrey, who endorsed Campbell last week after dropping out of the AG's contest, doubled down on the criticism of Liss-Riordan. This is horrible for democracy, he said. He said that the community deserves to make judgments based on background, policy, and experiences and that Liss's self-financed advertisements "distort" that process. John Connolly has also recently donated $570,000 to Campbell's campaign.


"It is a cynical view of voters to believe their vote can be bought," said campaign manager Jordan Meehan of Liss-Riordan.
