American Muckrakers Calls on Julian Beaudion (D) to Withdraw from US Senate Race
"Did the current Republican US Senator recruit Mr. Beaudion to run, to ensure his gravy train in DC doesn't end? The evidence points that direction," Wheeler said.
American Muckrakers today called on Democratic South Dakota US Senate candidate Julian Beaudion to suspend his campaign and withdraw, citing his financial history and serious questions about how his campaign is spending donor money.
“I’ve done a deep dive on Mr. Beaudion’s history in Louisiana and South Dakota, and I can say with certainty, and on the record, Julian Beaudion is using his donor’s funds to pay his personal expenses and hire his friends and family,” said David B. Wheeler, President and Co-Founder of American Muckrakers.
South Dakota court records show a pattern of debt-collection and loan-servicing lawsuits and multiple bench warrants for failure to appear. American Muckrakers is also asking whether Beaudion’s candidacy was engineered to split the opposition vote in this three-candidate race and protect the incumbent, Sen. Thomas Pischke (R-SD), who was recently indicted.
“Did the current US Senator recruit Mr. Beaudion to run, to ensure his gravy train in DC doesn’t end? The evidence points that direction,” Wheeler said.
