Moms for Liberty, a conservative education PAC operating in Florida, scored $50K in donations last month — and it came Julie Fancelli, the heiress of Publix Super Markets who reportedly “had a strong role” in helping bankroll the Jan. 6 rally.

The Moms for Liberty committee, which was created in December, has raised $50,762, a total that comes almost entirely from Fancelli’s June 23 donation, records show. After scoring that initial gift, Moms for Liberty doled out $250 contributions to 35 candidates in school board races across Florida in a wave of action on July 12.
