Jim Kenney raised money to boost progressive candidates but spent it on consultants and restaurant tabs
A few months after Kenney coasted to reelection, he launched the political action committee, Kenny PAC. In June 2020, Kenney said it would “help progressive candidates in the forthcoming legislative races in Pennsylvania defeat extremist pro-Trump Republicans.” But an Inquirer analysis shows that only $60,000 of the $780,000 the political action committee raised in the past three years went to other campaigns. Instead, the bulk of the money went to benefit operatives close to Kenney and to pay for miscellaneous expenses such as events, hotel rooms, and restaurant tabs.About $470,000 went to three consultants or firms that had worked on his previous campaigns, even though Kenney wasn’t running for office during that period.
