It’s kind of difficult to distance yourself from an increasing unpopular and disengaged cult leader when his dark money people keep dumping mailers in your district joining the two of you at the hip.

Still no complaints from Brandon Phelps (r) about these PAC expenditures.
In today’s mail:
“President Trump’s school choice agenda is a grand slam!….”
Privatizing K-12 education and defunding Warrensburg R-VI Schools is not going to go over very well in this legislative district.
“….Representative Brandon Phelps
Stood up for President Trump and our families when we needed it most….”
What, no mention of affordable housing, access to affordable health care, nor grocery and gas prices? Go figure.
“…Education Freedom Agenda…”
If you’re sitting at a table with grifters and you’re wondering who the mark is, it’s you.
Paid for by American Federation for Children, Inc.

Who?
[….] 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. It is the 501(c)(4) arm of the 501(c)(3) non-profit group the Alliance for School Choice.[1] The group was organized and is funded by the billionaire DeVos family, who are the heirs to the Amway fortune.

Bill Oberndorf will succeed Betsy DeVos as chairman of the American Federation for Children. Bill brings more than 25 years of experience in helping to advance the cause of parental choice and education freedom. Read more about him!

THE CAUSE
When funding for education follows students to the school of their choice, families win. We believe all parents should have a wide range of high-quality educational options to choose from, regardless of income.

What could possibly go wrong?
“…When funding for education follows students to the school of their choice…” Defunding local public schools.
Nope.
Follow the money. It’s always the money.
