Non-Profits Play Bigger Role in 2016 Campaign

“Several presidential hopefuls are getting help from allied tax-exempt nonprofit groups that have anonymous donors, a trend that experts say could pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the 2016 campaign,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Already, the tax-exempt entities are doing work on policy development and voter research, as well as hiring and deploying staff, for a half-dozen closely aligned campaigns. Some of the groups are expected to spend large sums on advertising and get-out-the-vote efforts to help their favored candidates.”
