Deep dives
Accusation of Dark Money Involvement
Candidates in the Oregon Congressional race accuse a third candidate, Maxine Dexter, of receiving dark money channeled through a super PAC called 3-14 Action Fund. They suggest that the funding might be linked to far-right donors trying to influence the race.
APAC's Influence in the Race
APAC, known for favoring pro-Israel positions, is suspected of having a hand in the dark money operation supporting Maxine Dexter's campaign. The efforts to conceal APAC's involvement hint at a broader agenda to influence the outcome of the election.
Challenges Over Funding Disclosure
During a debate, candidate Maxine Dexter faced pressure to disclose the source of her campaign funding, particularly from the 3-14 Action Fund super PAC. Despite allegations of ties to APAC, Dexter maintains that the donors are legally obligated to be disclosed.
Support from APAC Donors
Evidence reveals that a significant portion of campaign funding for Maxine Dexter, notably raised during April, originated from APAC donors. The spike in contributions and the alignment with APAC's interests appear to indicate a coordinated effort.
Response and Denials from 3-14 Action Fund
In response to allegations of being linked to APAC, the 3-14 Action Fund denies direct ties and insists on following legal disclosures. However, suspicions remain high due to the nature of campaign contributions and the timing of fundraising events.
