A Democratic PAC is spending millions in competitive races to ensure that outspoken critics of the Israeli government never make it to Congress. However, some of the money being spent on behalf of Eileen Filler-Corn, a former speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, originated from her own fundraising efforts during her career in Virginia state politics.

in Democratic primaries, spending millions in competitive races to ensure that the most outspoken critics of the Israeli government never make it to Congress .

Farrell also questioned whether Filler-Corn had an arrangement with DMFI PAC where she secured the group’s endorsement with the promise of a donation, which would violate rules barring candidates and campaigns from coordinating with super PACs. “The Speaker earned the endorsement of DMFI PAC as well as dozens of others from Democratic leaders and organizations because of her values and track record fighting for Virginia families.”Advertisement

Other top contenders are sounding similar notes of support for Israel’s right to defend itself, including Helmer, who is the grandson of Holocaust survivors. The field does have at least one dovish candidate who is in serious contention: state Sen.Helmer has also leveraged money raised as a state lawmaker for his advantage in a federal race. While his actions have not yet elicited an FEC complaint, they too raise questions about the elasticity of rules regulating super PACs.

Four FEC commissioners must sign off to proceed with an investigation into a complaint, and no such consensus materialized in Donalds’ case. In a, the FEC’s three Republican commissioners said there was “no reason to believe” he violated the law, because Donalds resigned as chair of the state PAC prior to the transfer of money. DeSantis, likewise,Filler-Corn, who remains at the helm of her state PAC, is offering a different defense from Donalds’.
