Campaign Finance
Note: Next campaign finance filing is 5/1, post-vote, which includes the last 9 days of the election. Any Developer or Dark Money spent in the last 9 days will go un-detected by voters. Check back for updates. In fact, candidates Brandy Williams and Lee Lemkuhl, in this cycle, did not report their Housing & Building Assocation donations when the other 5 candidates have. They were awarded by February 27th. What does developer-related mean? We include real estate, corporate infrastructure partners, and any contract-related entities. The reason is in the 2023 election, we were informed that developers tell their contractors to put signs up for their candidates and "encourage" they support them. In that election, over $1 million in developer + Dark Money donations were made to secure 4 Councilmember seats. The PPAR is a lobbying PAC just like the HBA and are often on the same team. Developers hire realtors to sell their inventory. Additionally, the YIMBY movement that pushes the overbuilding is backed by the National Association of Realtors and asset managers like Blackrock. Lastly, former PPAR board members are part of the CSURA board (that approves taxpayer funded URAs for development. This seems highly relevant.
