The American Conservative Fund has become synonymous with dark money in Alabama elections, having poured millions into campaign advertising with little to no financial records showing exactly where the money is going.

State Sen. Chris Elliott (R-Josephine) voiced his frustration with the American Conservative Fund PAC for sending mailers across the state supporting some legislative candidates and attacking others without the candidates' approval.

The candidates are seeking answers to who is behind the “massive political effort,” how much is being spent “to influence Alabama elections,” and why the fund has not disclosed any financial reports.

As campaign mailers and digital advertising funded by the so-called American Conservative Fund (ACF) political action committee continue to overwhelm parts of Alabama with competitive legislative races, House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter (R-Rainsville) said he is urging his members to stay focused on their public image in their district.

Are the efforts by the American Conservative Fund (ACF) PAC backfiring?

A political action committee backed by out-of-state gambling interests has been flooding parts of the state with campaign mailers and TV ads without filing regular financial reports with the Alabama Secretary of State’s Office.
