A political action committee chaired by former U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp spent more than $26,000 on Alliance Forge, the Republican-linked tech firm that leased the phone numbers used to send misleading text messages advocating for an amendment stripping abortion rights from the Kansas Constitution.
Do Right PAC is the only major group working to pass the amendment that reported paying Alliance Forge this year, according to PAC finance reports filed with the Kansas Ethics Commission. Do Right’s spending report, which covers Jan. 1, 2022, through July 18, 2022, doesn’t say on what day it paid Alliance Forge.
The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Alliance Forge, a Nevada-based firm, had leased the phone numbers. Alliance Forge didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from The Kansas City Star. The Post later updated the story to identify Huelskamp’s PAC as responsible for the text messages, citing anonymous sources.
