 |
 |
|
Far right extremist politician who
served as the Chairman of the Arizona Republican
Party.
DeWit
resigned on
January 24,
2024. 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. |

"Arizona
Republican
Party chair Jeff
DeWit is
resigning,
per a
statement
Wednesday,
after a
recording
surfaced in
which he
conveyed an
offer from
"very
powerful
people" to
give Kari
Lake a job
in exchange
for staying
out of the
2024 U.S.
Senate
race." |

"Arizona’s

the stage
over the
weekend with
the state’s
most
polarizing
legislator
known for
anti-Semitic,
hateful
rhetoric and
wild
conspiracy
theories." |

"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." |
