Dems are unfortunately addicted to high priced consultants, usually the same ones each cycle regardless of results, just another thing the party needs to break itself of and use those funds to fight everywhere possible. Also, working for a PAC sure does pay well.

It's not a good read. I believe Hogg has shot himself in the foot. He needs to run for anmoffice and get some experience before he tells lawmakers how to do their jobs. I wouldn't say this if he hadn't made so much out of the publicity that came his way.

This is what happens when you're a noisemaker that's never put in the groundwork Start at the bottom, work your way up Experience is how you let people know that you know what you're talking about They want positions they've never earned or put in the groundwork for, and it falls apart

Regardless, they actually donated around $3.2 million to various Democratic candidates, Dem Party committees & other PACs (including themselves...$116,000 went to "Leaders We Deserve Florida"). A whopping $1.23M of it went to a single legislative candidate in Texas.

They spent nearly $1 MILLION on "consultants." "Digital consultants" "Fundraising consultants" "Compliance consultants" "Research consultants" "Strategic consultants" "Finance consultants" "Communications consultants" "Administrative consultants" "Operations consultants"

If on IS, that's incorrect way of reporting, all expenses should be dispursed to the proper expense line. If on the BS, the line should be zero, used as a pass through account to be disbursed. I'm not going to go into debits and credits here, but it's another thing that's weird and could 2/
