## Resource

A Minnesota Senate race is heating up with millions in untraceable campaign cash flooding in, fueling one of the state’s most expensive primaries. Peggy Flanagan accuses industry donors of backing Angie Craig to serve corporate interests, while Craig counters by highlighting Flanagan’s past ties to big tobacco and oil. The feud exposes a deeper divide: candidates like Flanagan vow to reject corporate PACs and stay true to the people, while Craig argues outside spending is inevitable in tight races. Meanwhile, shadowy new groups run ads without revealing donors, weaving a tangled web of influence. This race is becoming a real-time test of whether money truly shapes elections—and who gets to speak in America’s democracy.
