Warren also said she would not accept any contributions > $200 from "executives" at big tech companies, big banks, private equity firms, or hedge funds. Campaign added that this is retroactive and any previous donations will be refunded.

campaign defined "executive" as: “cross-check the leadership team for each company with what they post on their own websites.” They did not elaborate further so unclear how many ppl this will apply to. Tech cos include Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Lyft, and Uber.

Re: DNC, Warren’s campaign did not comment on whether she would make the party return corporate/lobbyist $. Sanders’ campaign has warned the DNC and potential donors that it “is under no obligation to fulfill any transaction with a corporation trying to corruptly buy access.”

Warren also laid out some more details on a plan to revamp campaign financing including reducing the individual limit to $1,000 max and installing a 6-1 small $ publicly financed matching system for donations less than $200.

Warren's challenge is a direct shot at Mayor Pete who does not publicly disclose a full list of its bundlers or provide the time, place, and hosts of all of his fundraisers. Kamala + Biden are mixed. Harris released her finance committee and Biden has open press for his events.

More candidates should be like her. The other candidates, besides Bernie, don't stand a chance because they're all taking money from billionaires, PACS and lobbyists. Getting corruption out of Washington is the only way we're going to get a more level playing field.

@BetoORourke is the only one who doesn’t take money from PACs, super PACs, lobbyists, special interests group; and has no third parties indirectly helping him, no transferring money from previous races. He also donated unused money from his senate run to TX DNC. - Show replies

Warren is wrong on this, and this puritanical push is not the answer to win against Trump.

I hope she has peaked. Kamala should be leading in the polls
