Political parties are controlled by special interests? Not me!

I heard one of those idiotic radio commercials supporting Calif Prop 14. It claims that political parties are controlled by special interest. What nonsense.

I am the Republican candidate for Congress in my district. I shall now expose exactly how many special interests and lobbyists have contacted me:
None; zip, zero, zilch, nada.

True, I will probably get pounded in the general election, which may explain why I am being ignored by ‘special interests’, and if I win I expect the usual cavil of lobbyists to beat a path to my door. However, to claim that we are ‘controlled’ is simply not true, especially during the election cycle.
