| Description | George Fox, a wealthy hedge fund operator from Connecticut and older brother of Nashville mayoral candidate David Fox, has revealed he is the major financial donor behind a mysterious Super PAC that has suddenly bankrolled a wave of advertising to boost Fox's candidacy.
That revelation, made in a statement sent Tuesday from Citizen Super PAC to The Tennessean, comes after the conservative, Austin, Texas-based PAC has paid at least $127,191 to air pro-Fox television commercials, $18,490 for pro-Fox radio advertising and more money for mail ads. The most recent of these, a mail piece targeting opponent Linda Eskind Rebrovick, turned negative, prompting David Fox last week to apologize.
The mayoral candidate has maintained he didn't know who was behind the advertising, and continues to claim no previous knowledge. David Fox also denies any past or current coordination with the Super PAC, which would be a violation of campaign finance law. |
