Far right extremist politician who
is serving as the Chairman of the Arizona Republican
Party since 2023. A member of the Republican Party,
DeWit became the State Treasurer of Arizona in 2015,
succeeding Doug Ducey. In 2017, President Trump
nominated him to be chief financial officer of NASA.
He resigned from NASA in February 2020 and joined
Trump's 2020 campaign later that year. On June 30,
2020, it was reported that DeWit was named the chief
operating officer of the Donald Trump 2020
presidential campaign. |

Campaign Finance
Havoc |
"Questions have been
raised about a
series of apps that
are providing
information on
Arizona’s
conservative
candidates. In fact,
thanks to the Trump
campaign’s ex-chief
operating officer
and financial patron
to Arizona
gubernatorial
aspirant Kari Lake,
the Grand Canyon
State has a whole
slew of them. The
app Superfeed
Technologies
developed for Lake
appears to be the
most popular of the
four apps which the
Phoenix-based firm
has developed for
GOP candidates in
Arizona—seemingly
free of charge."
[...] One problem:
Arizona campaign
finance records show
no record of Lake’s
campaign—or any
political
committee—having
paid Superfeed for
this service,
despite the company
explicitly
describing its work.
And that, according
to election lawyer
James Barton, would
make the app’s
operation a
violation of state
contribution rules.
“In some states,
corporations and
unions can
contribute directly
to campaigns. That’s
not the case in
Arizona,” Barton
told The Daily
Beast. “They may
have for-free
promoted her, and if
that’s the case,
that’s illegal,
because that would
be an in-kind
contribution from a
company.” [...] In
personal financial
reports Lake filed
with the state
earlier this year,
she reported
receiving
compensation for
work as a
“communication
advisor” to FeedMe,
Inc. The forms do
not specify the
amount of the
commission, except
that it exceeded
$1,000. [...]
Arizona corporate
records, and filings
with the Securities
and Exchange
Commission, show
that FeedMe was an
old moniker that
Superfeed abandoned
more than a year
before Lake made her
disclosure. Why
Lake, whose campaign
did not respond to
multiple requests
for comment from The
Daily Beast, used a
defunct name for the
company in the
official filing is
unclear. The address
Superfeed lists on
its website is the
same UPS Store which
Lake identified in
the disclosure as
the location of her
and her husband’s
personal businesses.
FeedMe, now
Superfeed, first
gained attention in
2019, when The New
York Times described
it as a venture of
the right-wing news
site Western
Journal. But when
The Daily Beast
contacted Western
Journal founder
Floyd Brown, the
longtime
conservative
operative claimed he
was no longer
involved with the
firm, and said the
operation is in the
hands of former
Arizona state
treasurer Jeff DeWit." |
