Matlow PAC Receives $75,000 Donation from Delaware Dark Money Group

One September 25, 2024, Florida Division of Election campaign documents show that City Commissioner Jeremy Matlow’s One Tallahassee Political Action Committee (PAC) received a $75,000 donation from the Local Jobs and Economic Development Fund located in Delaware.

Since the primary election – August 20, the Matlow PAC has raised $179,900, $175,000 or 98% of the funds have come from out-of-state donors.

Matlow’s PAC is supporting Dot Inman-Johnson’s bid for city commission.

The latest donation comes from a “dark money” group. Dark money refers to spending to influence elections, public policy, and political discourse, where the source of the money is not disclosed to the public.

Delaware business filings show that the Local Jobs and Economic Development Fund was founded in February 2022. The registered agent on the listing is not linked to an actual person, but a firm that specializes in business filings.

The website also says that it is a 501(c)4 nonprofit, which are “social welfare organizations” that are not required to disclose donors and are allowed to engage in some political activity.

    I had no idea there was actually any other person besides me speaking out about this ” group” . I know them well. Unfortunately I befriend and helped them not know what agenda they have and more importantly, how vicious they are. They hurt me and my family in 2017 and continue to do so to others. I my research I thinking the leaders of this group is a particular law firm. The head of which was the ” right hand ” man to a previous governor. They even attempted to Swat me when I spoke up. Thank God for my family I live in Wakulla County. Thier goal is to turn Florida into the “New California ” and they infiltrate Republican Polotical campaigns as volunteers masked as Independents or Republican.

  2. How is this not illegal?? Democrats are literally buying votes and not even hiding it anymore. Every one of them should be kicked out of office.

  3. Money is speech. So it should be allowed (or rather not abridged) , but exposed and rejected by voters. Like matlow. He should reject it or voters should reject him. Failing that, move. That’s my plan.
