So the "I'm the Middle Class" candidate in the PA 13 primary race, Brendan Boyle, launched another "wealth attack" on Daily Kos endorsed candidate Daylin Leach. Leach took out a $250,000 loan to finance fund his campaign and the Boyle camp released the following:
According to 48-hour finance reports filed by the campaign yesterday, Daylin Leach who claimed he is not a millionaire, lives only off his State Senate Salary and has no access to his wife’s fortune – did something no middle class family could ever do. He loaned his campaign two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Well, it just so happens that Boyle, the candidate who has been attacking others on their wealth, happened to have $100,000 laying around to put into his campaign. In response, Daylin Leach's campaign manager stated:
Clearly a release from a campaign in a panic (and somehow missing that Arkoosh loaned herself $700k)
To loan the campaign $250k, Daylin took out a home equity loan on his house. Like most folks, has built up some equity in his home which he was able to use for his campaign.
Also, you’ll note that Arkoosh has loaned herself $700k, and Boyle has self-funded over $100k, so, on the spectrum in this race, we are on the lower end.
With the median household income in Philadelphia being at $38,000 a year, I don't know many middle class people who happen to have 100,000 dollars sitting around for personal campaign spending. It's as if money is growing on trees at the out of district Boyle residence. More on his wealth hypocrisy will be coming out soon.
