Anti-Monopoly Group Blasts Wealthy Maryland Democrat In New Digital Ad
Huff PostRep. David Trone has drawn the ire of anti-monopolists for his ownership of Total Wine & More, an alcohol retailer that has expanded by steamrolling local businesses. Fight Corporate Monopolies’ spot also describes a 2021 incident where Trone allegedly threatened to “execute” and “fucking end” a delivery worker. Trone’s campaign responded to the ad by noting that as a 5014 political education nonprofit, Fight Corporate Monopolies is a dark-money group that does not have to disclose donors. It’s in his DNA.” - Faiz Shakir, Fight Corporate Monopolies “If you look at how David Trone has built up Total Wine, he’s a monopolist by trade,” said Faiz Shakir, a board member of Fight Corporate Monopolies. Fight Corporate Monopolies is not endorsing Alsobrooks, whose views on antitrust policy remain largely unknown, but Shakir said she is a superior choice because she is “able to be convinced and persuaded around economic justice.” Rep. Mary Peltola earned Fight Corporate Monopolies' support with her outspoken opposition to the Kroger-Albertsons supermarket merger.
