Super PACs Cutting Ties To Fount Holland & AH Strategies

Alleged conspirator, Fount Holland, cofounder of AH Strategies.

  The Oklahoman is reporting that Republican super PACs are no longer working with Fount Holland, now that he is charged with serious felony conspiracy to help defeat a Republican incumbent using liberal labor union  money.
  Several candidates & elected officials may also be quietly preparing to make similar moves, to protect themselves from similar allegations.
  The charges draw a narrative of illegal conspiracy to coordinate a candidate's efforts with a 'dark money' group. Joy Hofmeister decided to run as a Republican & seek to oust Republican State Superintendent Janet Barresi. Hofmeister was a political novice from the Jenks School Board. Democrats strongly supported her and gave massive amounts to both her campaign and the conspiring dark money group.
   Here's the Oklahoman's account:

---

  ​This week, both the Senate Majority Fund and the Majority Fund told The Oklahoman they will be using a different consultant in the future.

  The Senate Majority Fund supports Republicans in state Senate races through independent expenditures.
"As we enter the 2018 election cycle, the Senate Majority Fund has decided to work with new vendors for any future efforts,"
it said in an emailed statement.

   The Majority Fund supports Republicans in state House races the same way.

  The case will likely take several more months to even start litigation. Some are speculating that Hofmeister should seek a misdemeanor plea agreement. A felony record would prevent her from holding this elective office.
  But it would be difficult for Hofmeister to survive a Republican primary challenge, given the implications of a collusion with historic liberal groups like the OEA  and  Public Schools Administration groups.
