Last Sunday, Pastor Greg Peters of Parkview Church in Palm Coast, Florida brought on stage three candidates for the Flagler County School Board and urged his congregation to vote for all three in order to flip the district so its under conservative Christian control.
Endorsing political candidates is literally the one thing a non-profit/church cannot do if it wants to maintain its non-profit status with the IRS, but conservatives Christians have long believed the rules dont apply to them, and the IRS has been too cowardly (or short-staffed) to go after them.
Its Parkview Church (Florida) and his name is Greg Peters

As an atheist, Im very much for the free exercise of religion. I an, however, staunchly against the amalgamation of church and state, a principle I believe to be implied by the First Amendment.
