Who’s Behind the Ghost Companies Funding Jeb Bush?

December 2, 2015 · 8:10 pm ET · 30 Comments

Mother Jones looks at two shadowy companies that seem to be set up solely to fund a super PAC supportive of Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign.

“TH Holdings is a special case—one that represents the worst-case scenario in the post-Citizens United campaign finance landscape: untraceable corporations shoveling untraceable cash into the political system. Beyond this six-figure contribution, the company appears to have no history of doing business anywhere. And its incorporation records reveal no owners, managers, or officers.”

“A few days after the TH Holdings contribution, Right to Rise received another curious donation. This time, an Alabama-based company called Heather Oaks LLC dumped $100,000 into the group. And Heather Oaks is even more ghostly than TH Holdings.”
