Polis spreading his bucks around to Dem friends

U.S. Rep. Jared Polis of Colorado is pouring money into the campaigns of his colleagues — or, he hopes, soon-to-be colleagues — in the U.S. Congress.

Polis once criticized the Citizens United decision, as well as a GOP-sponsored bill that would have ended public financing for presidential elections, saying, “with every election more and more dollars are spent by corporations and special interests on campaigns, inflicting great damage on the American people’s trust in government.”
