Former Scott Brown Campaign Staffer Working For Shadowy Super PAC Attacking Elizabeth Warren

Source: BoldProgressives.org

This past January, Massachusetts Senate candidate Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren made a historic pact to call on third-party groups — like Super PACs — not to air television, web, or radio ads in their race.

But a mysterious new campaign organization may be violating the spirit of this agreement and is casting a light on the ultra-thin walls between Super PACs and candidate campaigns.

This week, a new Super PAC calling itself America 360 began spending money in the Massachusetts race to boost Brown and attack Warren. It released a very poorly-produced web video warning that “outside groups” were supporting Warren, amusingly listing web boards like Democratic Underground as these independent entities.

One thing that we do know about America 360 is the identity of its spokeswoman, Alicia Preston. Preston is a public relations flack at “The Preston Group,” which does “strategic communications” for corporations and political candidates. Here’s the most interesting part about Alicia Preston: she’s a former Brown campaign staffer, as she describes on her firm’s website.

Emphasis added, since I think DUers might find that sentence particularly interesting.

I agree with the article that having a former Brown staffer as the Super PAC's spokeswoman is "suspicious, to say the least," given the pact that Brown and Warren signed earlier.
