E&E News: Records, watchdogs raise questions on Zinke's ethics deal
SOFA supported Zinke's bid for Congress, prompting concerns from watchdog groups about the potential illegal coordination between his campaign and the supposedly independent super PAC, which was registered to another property Zinke owns via Double Tap in Whitefish. In March 2014, the Campaign Legal Center and Democracy 21 filed a complaint with the FEC, asking it to investigate the ties between the super PAC and Zinke's campaign. A spokesman for the center said the agency never responded to the groups' request.
