Since we are reading about Allen West in the Draper book, I thought I would share short this OpenSecrets article about his new 501(c)(3). Gives us a little look into where campaign funds go once a candidate leaves his office.
Former tea party Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) told The Hill he won't be running for office in the next election. But don't count out his new nonprofit, the Allen West Foundation.
He told The Hill he "sees his foundation engaging in races," and taking up issue advocacy on the behalf of minority and military conservatives.
On Dec. 28, West's campaign committee, Allen West for Congress, transferred $250,000 in leftover funds to the foundation, and another $250,000 to American Legacy Guardians, according to the committee's year-end report filed with the Federal Election Commission.
