Dario Moreno, a politi- cal consultant and profes- sor of politics and interna- tional studies at Florida international University, called the amount paid to the fundraising consultant "excessive and on the borderline of abusive." Under federal law, sup- er PACs such as SOS America can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money but are required to be independent of a candidate's official cam- Th. limn styrkally. spend the majority of their money on advertising that supports or attacks candi- dates. SOS America told the Herald that its payments to Starboard were actually designed to boost dona- tions to Suarez's official campaign, not the inde- pendent PAC. "The Republican Na- tional Committee required that each presidential candidate haw a mini- mum of 40.000 unique contributors in order to participate in the first presidential debate — a formidable challenge for those candidates who were not already national- ly known," the committee said in a statement. "SOS Americo was aNe to lawfully engage Star- board and other vendors to identify and drive pro- spective donors to the Suarez for President web - site, and thanks to the efforts of all our vendors, we believe SOS America payed an important role in Suarez fur President reaching its 40,000aon- hibutor goal." Starboard has been criticized for charging high fees in the past, but the fum's founder and chief executive, Ryan Coyne. told the Herald that much of the $2.2 million that 50S America paid his firm for "fund- raising consulting" went to covering the hard costs associated with advertis- ing geared at driving po- tcntial small donors to- ward the official cam- paign. "The Starboard Team was honored to work with SOS America PAC to gen- erate over 40.000 small dollar donors and the financial figures shown on Ifedera6 flings largely reflect the advertising budgets utilized through- out that successful part- nership," Coyne said. He did not provide a break- down. Regardless of those efforts, Suarez faded to set other requirements to make the stage for the rust Republican debate in August 2023, such as registering at least 1% in multiple eligible polls, despite initially claiming that he had. Suarez ended his campaign days later. Suarez referred ques- tions to the super PAC and Starboard. PUSHING THE LIMITS Campaign finance ex- perts said that it is unusual fora super PAC -- rather th the ff - I a palg — to pay to goose cam- paign donations but that it shows how federal super PACs are increasingly testing the boundaries of what is permissible. "What they're saying is, 'We know the rules are narrow and they're never enforced anyway, so let's push the limits.'" said Sawav Ghosh, a former Federal Election COMMis- sion enforcement lawyer and the director of cam- paign finance reform at the watchdog Campaign Legal Center. Ghosh's group has fled a complaint Will the EEC alleging that the pro -Ile - Santis super PAC Never Back Down illegally coor- dinated with the DeSantis campaign. SOS America nude is fast payment to Starboard as Suarez's campaign struggled to build grass- roots suppon and offered the S20 gift cards and entry in a raffle to see Lionel Meat play soccer, all (or a buck. Those gift card expenses were paid not by the PAC but by the campaign itself, which hod its own war chest. The bulk of the super PAC's payments to Star- board, eight quarter -mil- lion- dollar chunks start- ing in August, ended shortly after the campaign did in September. Earlier, the super PAC had paid more than S300,000 to longtime Suarez consultant Brian Gold meter for fundraising. The super PAC's other expenses — for digital media and TV advertising, for instance -- were cov- ered by money leh met from the previous year. The PAC had been in existence and raising money since long before Suarez announced he was running. ITS A RACKET FROM PAGE IA COVO cessful bid for Congress. She was in the role for less than a year before Damian Pardo defeated her in last year's election for the seat. Cove said she is now in contact with a lawyer and "will continue to seek advice on the best path forward to ensure that 1 am properly cleared." "This is incrcdibty dis- appointing," she added. A spokesperson for the Rroward Stare ARorney's Omer said the office does not comment on pending investigations. The Miami -Dade State Attorney's Office and DeSantis' office did not immediately respond to requests for comment. ALLEGATIONS FROM A FORMER CANDIDATE After the existence of the investigation became public Saturday, former City Commission candi- date James Torres — who an against Coru for the District z teat last voanr told the Herald that he believes the case is related to allegations he made against Coro months ago. Torres was among the candidates in a crowded race that was ultimately decided in a runoff elec- tion between Covo and Pardo, who won on an anti-corruprion platform. In the days before the cold vote, Torres went on documentarian Billy Corben's podcaet, Because Miami, and alleged that Cove had offered him a city job in exchange for his endorsement after he (abed to qualify for the runoff. In response, Covo denied any wrongdoing, telling the Miami New Times the claims were "categorically and une- quivocally false." 'fortes said Saturday that he was summoned to the sate att0mey's office for an interview on the subject after his appear- ance on Corben's show. Torres said he L. under orders not to comment further on the matter. "The wheels d jtmtice are turning," Torres told the Herald. "Oust hope justice is served for the greater good fit our cnm- munily and the political system as a whole." CNwa did not apveif0ed- ly respond to Torres' alle- gations when asked Sat- urday.

Starboard has done work for only a handful of other committees, in- cluding one connected to a super PAC supporting Nikki Haley's presidential bid. Thc Gum was in the news earlier this year after nnouncing pans to ac- uire the conservative social media platform Parley. Under its former name, Olympic Media, it had a more extensive track re- cord.

The Washington Post reported that Olympic Media kept as much of 70% of the money it gen- erated for klaeik's cam - pa gn. "1 actually loaf sleep over this," klacik said of the fees to promote her online ads and help her attract donors. "These companies — it's a rack- et. The latest fling sug- gents the Suarez super PAC paid wren higher fees, said Anna Masruglia, editorial and investiga- tions manager for the campaign finance watch- dog Open Secrets. "This is an even more egregious example," she said. Starboard boasts on its Liokedln page that it has a "zero -risk solution" for potential clients. "Assuming act the risk, we are only as successful as our clients. Simply put, when our clients win, we win."
