Zeteo alleges AIPAC-backed super PAC is mirroring Haley Stevens campaign messaging
Zeteo
AIPAC Spent $30m On Michigan Senate Candidate Haley Stevens
"There's a term for this tactic where political campaigns put statements on public campaign websites only for them to be used by allied super PACs. It's called red boxing and allows them to skirt around the campaign finance laws that prohibit them from directly coordinating with those super PACs. We asked Haley Stevens's campaign what they would say to people who think this might look like coordination with APEC."
Zeteo claims the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), largely via its super PAC the United Democracy Project, has spent nearly $30m supporting US Rep Haley Stevens in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary and is amplifying talking points that appeared first on Stevens’s campaign website. The segment argues this resembles “red boxing”, a practice where campaigns post messages publicly for allied groups to pick up, potentially skirting coordination rules; Zeteo says Stevens’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
