The Real Bill Hill

Follow the Money

Bill Hill runs on "independence." His donors tell a different story.

Bill Hill says he answers to no one but Alaskans. But follow the money, and it leads straight to the same national left-wing donor network that bankrolls the Democratic Party's most progressive causes.

75%

of Bill Hill's itemized campaign donations come from outside Alaska.

This Is the Same Money Behind the Hidden Plan.

These aren't just campaign donors - they're part of the outside dark money network a hidden page on Hill's own campaign website said was needed to reach a specific goal: clearing the Democrat out of this race entirely.

See "The Secret Deal"

An "independent" candidate funded by Democracy Alliance leadership and a pro-Mamdani super PAC donor isn't independent. He's just not saying the quiet part out loud - except, it turns out, once, on a page he thought no one would find.
