That was in December, and they didn't even start collecting signatures until May.

(102,236 posts)Their PAC may have some separation from the Group as a whole--not sure, but the Executive Director is Rachel O'Leary.

I don't think much of anyone who thinks it's OK for a Rep of Congress to say this about our now Democratic President Joe Biden.

(15,325 posts)It appears that when a big $$ donor limits out in one SPac, they open another for the funds to keep flowing between Pacs & 501C4's, Committees & Institutes, also listed as 501C4s where unlimited Dark & foreign funds can be hidden from prying eyes.
Not sure if this is akin to a Ponzi or a money laundering version of campaign cash banking.
It is quite a system nonetheless!
Be watching how this one evolves.
Yikes!

(67,782 posts)They smeared Brown for "dark money", but Turner's gotten roughly 3X as much, and almost $1M from organizations that SHE was a member of prior to her candidacy, and now they smear Brown for being among a UNANIMOUS 11-0 vote for county contracts, but yet Turner has serious potential and documented FEC infractions.
And after the article about the so-called ethics inquiry into Brown sat there for a couple of days, the author of the article admits that he didn't know anything about an ethics inquiry since the agency said that they never reveal the existence of or results of such inquiries.
How NOT to smear your opponent!
