The Republican Legislative Victory Fund (RLVF), a PAC run by Camelback Strategy Group (CSG), filed a quarterly campaign finance report this past week revealing that between the middle of July and the end of September it raised over $1,606,795, but only about $7,500 was spent to help Republican candidates. Instead, the RLVF spent about $735,000 on operating expenses for consultants, fundraisers, accounting, polling, and the like.
“Democrat groups are outspending Republicans in these key legislative races by over 2 to 1, we don’t have the luxury to be inefficient with our resources,” Scot Mussi, president of the Arizona Free Enterprise Club, told The Sun Times. “It’s hard to understand how the Victory Fund can spend over $700K and almost nothing goes out the door to help Republicans get elected.”
Other than $7,398.45 for flyers/handouts/door hangers for one candidate, RLVF’s only expenditures helping candidates during this crucial point of the primary race and the beginning of the general race was $5,619 each for campaign websites.
