Two high level former Obama campaign officials orchestrated more than $1.1 million of ?in-kind? contributions over a 17 day period in November to an independent expenditure committee with no apparent assets that supports the election of Democrat Doug Jones in the Alabama U.S. Senate election, according to Federal Election Commission reports and publicly available documents. Bully Pulpit Interactive, a Washington, D.C. based consulting firm founded by former Obama campaign official Andrew Bleeker, provided more than $800,000 in online advertising services to Highway 31, an independent expenditure committee based in Birmingham, Alabama, in the 17 days between November 6, when the Alabama group filed its statement of organization with the FEC, and November 22, the ending date for the first statement of activities it filed with the FEC.
Waterfront Strategies, a Washington, D.C. based consulting firm that is a wholly owned subsidiary of GMMB Consulting, which was founded by former Obama campaign official Jim Margolis, has provided more than $309,000 in media buy services during that same 17 day period to Highway 31.
Reports filed with the FEC by Highway 31 indicate that it has no cash on hand, and has not paid a single penny to either Bully Pulpit Interactive or Waterfront Strategies. Highway 31?s report shows that it currently owes Bully Pulpit Interactive the full $800,000 it has advanced, and owes Waterfront Strategies the full $309,000 it has advanced.
The unusual and secret arrangement between vendors Bully Pulpit Interactive and Waterfront Strategies and Highway 31, which appears to be little more than a shell legal organization used as a ?cut-out,? raises significant ethical questions.
