As 2020 nears, Democrats may be on track to beat the GOP at the 'dark money' game for the second national election in a row — and Republicans are nervous
. An ad-tracking report from a GOP source involved in 2020 fundraising put pro-Democratic dark money spending on Senate races in Maine, Iowa, Arizona and Colorado even higher: at $5.4 million. That's on top of at least $750,000 in spending by Majority Forward, the slightly older Senate-focused twin of House Majority Forward.
Executive Director Amy Kurtz sought to distinguish Sixteen Thirty from other dark money groups because it supports grassroots organizing and not candidates. Brendan Fischer, director of federal reform at the Campaign Legal Center, said his group opposes dark money because"voters can't know which wealthy special interests are trying to influence their vote."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., arrives for a classified briefing in Washington in June 2018.Irwin of Majority Forward said her dark money group continues to"play by the rules" of the current system, but she blamed the GOP for the lack of reform.
