Dark Money & The Fisher Campaign

Might be Playing with Fire
Dark Money Group Illegally Spending on Dan Fisher's Campaign?


Late in the week inquiries started coming in on the Dark Money group called Citizens For Free States, a group that is spending some serious cash in a couple of the big media markets in Oklahoma promoting the abolitionists movement and in some cases advocating the Dan Fisher gubernatorial campaign.

Two men appear to be part of the group or leading the group, former Senator and GOP Chairman Randy Brogdon and a member/official of Dan Fisher's church by the name of Mark Kreslin. Kreslin is reported to be taking in $5000.00 per month from the group. Kreslin calls himself a consultant and claims the worked for congressmen in the past, has a evangelical radio show, and was the organizer for the anti abortion 2013 rally at the Capitol.

The group has a website where they show two of their commercials, one of which features Randy Brogdon and doesn't specifically mention Fisher. The other ad specifically is about Fisher and says vote for him, yet is the group truly independent as the disclaimer says? The group has an Edmond mailing address, a post office box, but there is no information outlining who runs the group.

Has the group filed with the Ethics Commission? How can it be independent when two of his main supporters are running the groupj?
