Nonprofits that helped fund the campaigns of local Republican candidates in recent elections violated federal tax laws by failing to disclose their substantial political contributions, a complaint filed by a Washington, D.C., watchdog group says.
But the head of the nonprofits that provided political contributions to Republican political races such as the reelection of state Sen. Keith Perry in 2018 begs to differ.
William “Stafford” Jones said the allegations brought forth by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics amounts to a “political hit job.”
In a Feb. 17 press release, the watchdog nonprofit organization suggests the IRS should investigate two Florida dark money groups who, by collectively spending nearly $3 million on political contributions, “appear to have made politics by far their primary activity in violation of their tax-exempt status.”
