CLC Alleges Straw Donor Scheme Funneled Over $1.4 Million to PACs

On December 6, 2024, Campaign Legal Center (CLC) filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) alleging that unknown persons used an obscure Delaware corporation called Save Our Home Planet Action, Inc. (SOHPA) to funnel over $1.4 million to multiple federal super PACs and hybrid PACs, beginning just 10 days after SOHPA was formed. SOHPA has no public footprint and there is no indication that it engaged in any activity during the miniscule period between its formation and when it began making multiple six-figure political contributions, strongly suggesting that SOHPA was used to illegally funnel the contributions of others to these PACs while concealing the true contributors’ identities, in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA).
