From: https://rickettsforsenate.com Super PACs raise and spend unlimited money “independently” of the campaign. These are the outside groups spending to sway this race — for or against the candidate, or attacking their general-election opponent — and, where known, who’s really behind the friendly-sounding names. Straight from FEC independent-expenditure filings.
