Brett Guthrie has accepted documented donations from sectors with material interests in "PPP loan forgiveness for family business Trace Die Cast" but has no public statement, vote, or hearing record on the topic. Expected position: As a congressman who publicly criticized student loan debt forgiveness as a 'bribe to score political points,' Guthrie would be expected to address the $4.3 million in PPP loans that were forgiven for Trace Die Cast Inc., the family manufacturing business where he serves as an uncompensated board member. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Guthrie tweeted on August 25, 2022 criticizing President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan. He was also active throughout the 2023-2025 period giving media interviews and issuing press statements on healthcare and budget issues. However, when confronted by LEX 18 News about the PPP loan forgiveness for Trace Die Cast, Guthrie did not return a request for comment. The Kentucky Democratic Party further documented that he 'stayed silent when his $4.3 million in federal PPP loans were forgiven by Kentucky taxpayers.' He did not address this contradiction in any public statement identified.
