WA-10: Accusations of "red-boxing" in the 10th District congressional race,
During a 10th Congressional District Candidate Debate this past Wednesday night, Phil Gardner alleged that three of his opponents are soliciting support from Super PACs through the use of a practice called “red-boxing”.
A little over 20 minutes into the debate, Gardner was asked a question regarding the federal deficit and debt. After offering a brief answer to the question, he pivoted to criticize three of his fellow Democratic candidates, Representative Kristine Reeves, Mayor Marilyn Strickland, and Representative Beth Doglio for “exploiting a notorious loophole created for candidates supported by Super PACs.”
Gardner, a former aid to 10th Congressional District incumbent Denny Heck, introduced the critique by saying that the presence of Super PACs and dark money in politics stands in the way of political progress. He then offered his definition of red-boxing.
