Shadowy Des Moines Group Comes Out Against Boswell After Getting Checks from Republicans
The Des Moines Tea Party is neither registered federally with the FEC or IRS as a political organization, nor at the state level with the Iowa Ethics & Campaign Disclosure Board. This makes the finances of the Des Moines Tea Party somewhat shadowy. Nevertheless, it has come out swinging in the Iowa 3rd District congressional race, helping to organize a protest against Democratic incumbent Leonard Boswell and issuing a written recommendation that Iowans vote for Republican Party 3rd District candidates.
The Des Moines Tea Party did not accompany these anti-Democratic, pro-Republican declarations with an acknowledgement that the Des Moines Tea Party had received checks beforehand written by no fewer than five Iowa Republican Party politicians.
