Former SpeakerPelosi paid tens of thousands of dollars more from her campaign for private jet travel, despite promoting climate change policies that take aim at the fossil fuels industry, records show.
Pelosi, a longtime backer of green energy policies, came under fire for her private jet travel as she led House Democrats in passing President Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, a sweeping climate and energy bill that may cost taxpayers up to $1.2 trillion over 10 years.
Pelosi's campaign has made 14 payments to Advanced Aviation, averaging roughly $42,400, since October 2020, according to disclosures. Her campaign paid over $349,500 during the midterm elections for charter aircraft, accounting for roughly $51,300 spent on in-kind travel to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in September of that year.
In terms of travel as a whole, Pelosi's campaign spent a total of $61,481 during the first quarter of 2023, mostly on commercial airfare with United Airlines, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and Delta Air Lines, according to disclosures. "Their greed is making our case to fight corporate monopolies, diversify our energy sources and transition from fossil fuels," she added.
