Hearn: PAC $$$ prop GOP wannabes

On his Facebook page, Democrat Tom Hearn comments about financial contributions to the campaigns of his opponent, Republican Paul Amador and other Republicans:

"If you read the whole article look at where the Republicans including Paul Amador received the vast majority of their money--- Political Action Committees nearly all of the money from outside of Coeur d'Alene! Mine are mostly small donations from people living in Coeur d'Alene. Who do you think will represent the common people in Coeur d'Alene in the legislature and who will represent the political establishment in Idaho that has been responsible for the very serious problems we have in Idaho?"

Question: Does it matter to you where a political candidate gets his or her money?
