PHILADELPHIA MAYOR: Super PAC to stop spending on Jeff Brown's campaign

A judge approved a deal Monday between the Philadelphia Board of Ethics and a super PAC to cease all spending on Jeff Brown’s campaign for mayor.

Two weeks ago, city’s Board of Ethics accused a super PAC and its related nonprofit group with illegally coordinating with Brown’s campaign for mayor in order to circumvent Philadelphia’s annual campaign finance limits.

On April 10, the board filed an emergency petition Common Pleas Court seeking it to force the super PAC, known as independent expenditure groups For a Better Philadelphia PAC and its related nonprofit For a Better Philadelphia, to immediately cease and desist all spending on the 2023 mayoral election.

In addition, the board sought civil monetary penalties.

I’ve not been impressed at all with his campaign. From the constant mistakes, confusion on policy and this super pac corruption, he’s definitely gone to the bottom of my list.
