WASHINGTON — A prominent conservative PAC has spent nearly $65,000 on copies of a book that hasn’t been published yet as part of its effort to boost Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley.
The Senate Conservatives Fund, a PAC founded by former South Carolina Republican Sen. Jim DeMint, has emerged as one of the most vocal defenders of Hawley in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
The group has already spent nearly $520,000 on Hawley’s behalf since January, according to its filings with the Federal Election Commission.
