The New Republic | Republican Operatives Behind Shady “Lead Left” Organization Exposed by Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The article reveals that the covert super‑PAC “Lead Left,” which claims to oppose MAGA extremists, is actually funded by prominent Republican operatives; its primary donor was Caleb Crosby, treasurer of the Congressional Leadership Fund and the Senate Leadership Fund, linking the group to the main GOP fundraising arms. Lead Left funneled nearly $1 million into the campaign of Texas Democratic House hopeful Maureen Galindo—a sex‑therapist who courted controversy with antisemitic remarks and a pledge to turn ICE facilities into “prison for American Zionists.” The PAC’s opaque structure—using shell companies Piruzi LLC and OTG Media LLC and code linking to the Republican fundraising site WinRed—allowed it to conceal its Republican backers while inserting money into Democratic primaries not only in Texas but also in Nebraska and Pennsylvania, spending over $2.4 million on ads. The Campaign Legal Center has accused Lead Left of violating federal reporting rules by hiding its true donors, raising concerns about electoral transparency and the manipulation of Democratic races by Republican‑linked money.

Hawaii just passed a bill that undermines Citizens United.

The bill establishes corporations as “artificial persons” without the right to spend money on elections.

The bill could limit the influence of super PACs and be a model to challenge the influence of money in politics.

"The law, which takes effect July 1, 2027, redefines corporations in a way that precludes spending on elections. A volunteer group in Montana is gathering signatures in hopes of putting a similar issue to voters in November."
