Daily News | Inside the Board of Ethics’ case against the super PAC supporting mayoral candidate Jeff Brown
the group and a related nonprofit with the same name of an “extensive and elaborate scheme to circumvent the city’s campaign contribution limits” by coordinating with Brown when he helped the groups raise funds that would later be spent boosting his candidacy. The board revealed that more than $1 million of those funds came from Brown’s Super Stores, the parent company of Brown’s stores, now owned primarily by Brown’s son.
that said illegal coordination can occur at any point in the year leading up to an election, even if it happens before the candidate enters the race. “He came to a dinner, and he may have made some calls, but we definitely disagree with the nature and the extent of what they’re saying,” White said. “They filed papers that have a lot of innuendo but very little proof.”Jeff Brown could be Philly’s first outsider mayor in a century.

Brown declined to comment on the donations from Brown’s Super Stores. When he launched his campaign in November, Brown said he owned only a 5% stake in the business after selling much of it to his son in the two years leading up to his run.The board has alleged that because Brown coordinated with For A Better Philadelphia, the super PAC is not independent from Brown’s campaign.
“Whether coordination occurs before or after an individual becomes a candidate is immaterial,” the 2018 opinion says. “The key issue is whether coordination between the Entity and the candidate’s campaign, which includes the candidate, occurred at all prior to the expenditures being made by the Entity.”
“Orange is just a color that pops,” White said, noting that other candidates, including former Councilmembers Allan Domb and Cherelle Parker, are using orange for their campaigns as well. “Before this election cycle, I’ve never seen orange [in campaigns]. Now I’m seeing it all over the place.”
