Left-leaning and nonpartisan campaign finance groups are considering legal action to compel No Labels, a centrist organization, to disclose its donors as it plans to support a third-party presidential bid.
No Labels, registered as a 501(c)4 nonprofit, is accused of skirting nonprofit and political activity laws by potentially acting as an unregistered political party.
The group’s funding, largely from wealthy donors and business interests, is a cause for concern among Democratic-aligned groups, who fear its impact on the election. (Trending: Trump Defies Court And Delivers Closing Argument At Civil Fraud Trial)
“No Labels’ refusal to disclose its funders is disturbing and unlawful. Secret political spending is one of the most corrupting influences in politics and having a secret money organization impersonating a political party severely undermines the democratic process as a whole,” the groups wrote.
“If you continue to deprive voters of the information to which they are entitled, our organizations will consider legal action to vindicate American voters’ legal right to know who is using No Labels to try to buy the 2024 presidential election.”
Potential candidates rumored to be backed by No Labels align with the group’s centrist, business-friendly stance.
The situation has prompted a coalition of organizations to consider filing complaints or lawsuits to enforce donor disclosure, citing concerns about the democratic process and the influence of special interest groups.
“At the crux of a healthy democracy is disclosure, accountability and the rule of law,” one letter read.
“But No Labels is the embodiment of what’s wrong with Washington: a secretive special interest group using unethical practices in an attempt to install politicians who will help the most powerful and wealthy benefit at the expense of working Americans.”
