Beto O’Rourke on Wednesday pledged not to accept campaign contributions of more than $200 from fossil fuel company executives
“We don’t take PAC money or accept help from corporations, lobbyists, and special interests," O'Rourke said in a prepared statement. "But given the enormity of climate change, the greatest threat we face, we want to go further and be clear about where we stand as we all come together to build the largest grassroots campaign this country has ever seen."
The announcement brings O’Rourke in line with several other presidential contenders who have signed the pledge, including Sens. Bernie Sanders , Elizabeth Warren and Kirsten Gillibrand , South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, according to the pledge’s website and the group Oil Change U.S.
