Bernie Sanders leads Democrats in private jet spending

From Climate Change Dispatch

The Bernie Sanders campaign spent just under $1.2 million on private jet travel last quarter, outpacing the entire 2020 Democratic presidential primary field.

The most recent filing from Sanders reveals $1,199,579 in spending during the final three months of 2019 to Apollo Jets, LLC, a “luxury private jet charter service.”

The campaign spent an additional $23,941 for transportation to Virginia-based Advanced Aviation Team.

The candidate who comes closest to matching Sanders in private jet spending was former vice president Joe Biden, whose campaign spent $1,040,698 to Advanced Aviation Team last quarter.

An analysis of private jet spending in filings from other top candidates found that Elizabeth Warren’s campaign spent $720,518 and Pete Buttigieg’s campaign spent $323,518.

The Sanders people say those millions of dollars are neutralized by purchases of carbon offsets from NativeEnergy a company that advertises itself as “the leading offset provider for both individuals and businesses” (nativeenergy.com). I might be putting too much bad stuff into the air, so I need to contact my local NativeEnergy corner store and buy some carbon offsets. I’m sure I can afford the credits from my Social Security or Army disability check.
