CLC Alleges Straw Donor Scheme Concealed True Source of Contributions Totaling $625,000
On January 30, 2025, Campaign Legal Center (CLC) filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) alleging that unknown persons used an obscure Delaware corporation called Promoting American Values for Everyone, Inc. (PAVE) to conceal the true source(s) of contributions totaling $625,000 to a super PAC, Oakland Corps PAC (OC PAC), during the final weeks before the 2024 election. PAVE and OC PAC were set up within six weeks of each other and shared the exact same address, and PAVE was OC PAC’s only source of funding, indicating that PAVE was established and used to funnel money to OC PAC while illegally concealing the identities of the true contributors.
