Or, as the campaign operatives say, they’re “making billionaires millionaires.”
Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission for a PAC, from a PAC, funded by a billionaire:
C190971 09/16/2019 Brattin Brigade PAC CL PAC 440 Medina Drive Saint Louis MO 63122 9/16/2019 $100,000.00
[emphasis added]
CL PAC’s Treasurer: Mark Milton
And, of course, CL PAC has been recharged:

And they’re spending money elsewhere:
C171190 09/16/2019 Conservative Citizens Coalition CL PAK 440 MEDINA DRIVE ST LOUIS MO 63105 9/16/2019 $10,000.00
Nice typo. Was that on purpose? Just asking.

With a name like that it’s just got to be right wingnut PAC.
So, do they save on postage by passing the contribution check from the treasurer’s left hand to the right hand? Just asking.

The American Federation for Children?:
The American Federation for Children is a 501(c)(4) organization that does lobbying and grassroots advocacy work in the states and Washington, D.C. We are affiliated with the American Federation for Children Action Fund, a political committee that supports and opposes state-level candidates for elected office. We work closely with our educational partner, the American Federation for Children Growth Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization, to promote the benefits of—and the need for—school choice, make parents aware of their options, mobilize grassroots supports and ensure private school choice laws work for students.
Ah, defunding and dismantling public education.
A 501(c)(4), eh? Who’s paying for it?
[….]
On July 16, 2018, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service announced that tax-exempt nonprofit groups described under section 501(c) of the nation’s tax code would no longer be required to disclose the names and addresses of their donors on tax documents. The policy change did not apply to reporting requirements for 501(c)(3) groups, which remained unchanged. [….]
How convenient.
Back to the American Federation for Children:
The American Federation for Children (AFC) is a conservative 501(c)(4) dark money group that promotes the school privatization agenda via the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and other avenues. [….]
Someone on the board:
The Honorable Joseph Lieberman Board Member New York, NY
Betsy DeVos (r), too, eh?
Some of the headlines in the press section of the American Federation for Children web site:
AFC on Fox & Friends – Tommy Schultz on Fox News
AFC Board Member Sen. Joe Lieberman Discusses School Choice on Fox Business
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to Speak at 2019 American Federation for Children National Policy Summit
AFC and Liberty Justice Center Submit Amicus Brief to U.S. Supreme Court on Montana School Choice Case
School Choice Mentioned in the State of the Union Address – Uh, he craps all over everything he touches.
John Schilling Discusses School Choice on Fox Nation – The darlings of a single network, eh?
Educational Choice Candidates Prevail in Missouri Primary – Guess which party.
