Washington Public Disclosure Commission Launches Formal Investigation into Let's Go Washington PAC

Washington Public Disclosure Commission Launches Formal Investigation into Let's Go Washington PAC

The Washington Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has initiated a formal investigation into the conservative political action committee (PAC) Let's Go Washington. This action follows a complaint filed by the watchdog group Washingtonians for Ethical Government (WFEG), which alleges that the PAC failed to disclose millions of dollars in in-kind political advertising. The complaint specifically points to over 150 instances of promotional content provided by podcaster Brandi Kruse, a former FOX 13 Seattle news personality who now hosts the unDivided podcast. WFEG estimates the value of this undeclared advertising to be between $345,000 and $1.25 million. A lawyer representing Let's Go Washington has denied these claims, stating that no payment or donor relationship exists with Ms. Kruse and that the complaint attempts to portray her as a political advocate rather than a journalist.

Russell Fry Endorses Darline Graham in South Carolina U.S. Senate Primary Runoff

South Carolina Representative Russell Fry has officially endorsed Darline Graham in the upcoming August 25 primary runoff election for a U.S. Senate seat. Fry, who placed third in the initial primary, announced his support for Graham, who is also backed by President Trump. Graham is seeking a full six-year term after being appointed by Governor Henry McMaster to complete the remainder of her late brother Lindsey Graham's term. Fry's endorsement comes despite his previous criticisms of Graham during the primary campaign, where he questioned her experience and past policy stances. His decision reportedly followed a request from President Trump, emphasizing party unity.
