Election denial is lucrative: Kari Lake raised $2.5 million after Election Day
Donors wanted to help her overturn the election, but less than 10% of Lake’s post-election spending went to lawyers


More than 8,000 people contributed $338,388 to Lake’s failed campaign on Nov. 14. Less than a quarter of those contributions came from Arizona, though the Grand Canyon State led the way with about 1,700 donations. Money arrived from every state, plus Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.

Between the day after the election and the end of the year, Lake received more than 57,000 contributions from 37,281 people. All told, the former television news anchor turned MAGA star raised $2,515,169 after the election.

More than half of the $3 million in post-election spending went to TAG Strategies, a Virginia-based marketing and communications firm that received payments nearly every day. It’s unclear what most of that $1.52 million in expenses was for, as the Lake campaign categorized the vast majority of those payments as “administration — other” in its finance reports.

But more than $433,000 of that was spent on “telemarketing/auto dialers,” according to the campaign finance reports.

That lines up with the services the firm performed for Lake prior to Election Day. In the six weeks before the election, she paid TAG Strategies nearly $2.2 million for “telemarketing/auto dialers.” The firm charged roughly $1 million for consulting fees, as well.

In all, Lake paid TAG Services more than $4.8 million — nearly one in every three dollars her campaign spent.
