Ahead of the November election that will decide control of the Tallahassee City Commission, City Commissioner Jeremy Matlow’s One Tallahassee Political Action Committee (PAC) – which he once described as people driven – received a total of $95,000 in contributions from three donors located in California and Tennessee. The $95,000 in donations were posted during the period from September 14 – September 20, 2024.
The donations came from the Green Advocacy Project ($75,000) located in Palo Alto, California, the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy ($10,000) located in Tennessee, and the Climate Cabinet Action Fund ($10,000) located in San Francisco, California.
Matlow has pledged to use the PAC to support Dot Inman Johnson’s bid to unseat current city commissioner Curtis Richardson.
Before the primary election, the One Tallahassee PAC raised $100,000 from out-of-state donors.
To date the One Tallahassee PAC has raised $228,106 with $195,000 coming from four donors with addresses in California (160K), Tennessee (10K) and Delaware (25K).
The Green Advocacy Project
The Green Advocacy Project was founded by Michael Kieschnick, an activist who founded and operated CREDO Mobile, an online advocacy software.
The project was formed in 2017 to advocate for the elimination of the use of traditional energy sources in the United States and a government-subsidized transition to weather-dependent energy.
Kieschnick has a history of supporting progressive causes.
In 2017, Kieschnick co-founded Real Justice PAC, a PAC supporting lenient criminal justice policies and the defund the police movement.
Kieschnick supported the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Kieschnick is also board member with the Tides Foundation. The Tides Foundation has received at least $22 million in donations from George Soros controlled non-profits.
The Green Advocacy Project lists a leadership team with significant political experience with the national progressive movement.
Becky Bond, a board member, was formerly a senior advisor to the Bernie Sanders 2016 presidential campaign and political director of CREDO Mobile.
Zack Malitz, a board member, helped lead the digital organizing department for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign.

Conservatives really need to look out for what they did in Gainesville utilities. plunder and graft will follow when the Old Boys see the handwriting on the wall. it’s all coming apart
I’m thinking this might be Matlow’s fall from grace.
I’ve said many times that PAC Money should be illegal as well as any money from Businesses doing or wishing to do Business with the local Governments. The Business Names should be on a list of who can’t do Business with them.
Candidates for state and local level office need to be prohibited from getting funding from out of state PACs. Individual contributions that are strictly limited may be ok except for the Act Blue model that falsifies the identity of the contributor.
Pizza Boy is getting creepier and creepier as each day passes.
This really smells.
Question: How does renewable energy get a pizza oven to 500° ?
Don’t you just love these “grass roots, every day Tallahasseeans” supporting Jeremy’s PAC? This seems to be a sign of concern for Dot’s campaign that Matlow needs even MORE money to prop up his third vote. I wonder if Dot wants to win so badly she is willing to mortgage her soul to owe the socialists in future Commission meetings.
Matlow is selling his vote on the commission to California progressives. Matlow is a creep, there is something wrong with that boy.
He’s going to need it. All the city vendors and developers are loading up Richardsons campaign.
Matlow is the worst type of racist. He hates his own kind. He worships the demographic that causes the worst of violence.
In the 19th century he would have been labelled an “anarchist”.
Now? He seeks chaos. He seeks a break down of society for the sole purpose of leftist totalitarian control.
I find him the most repulsive puppet we face locally.
