Questionable Donations

Federal officials have launched an inquiry into donations made to the campaign of Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. The investigation, initiated by the Federal Election Commission (FEC), follows a complaint filed by the Coolidge-Reagan Foundation, a nonprofit group focused on campaign finance oversight.

The complaint centers on 53 small-dollar donations totaling $595, which were allegedly made in the name of a 73-year-old Texas resident. According to the foundation, the individual and his family may not have been aware of the contributions. A video shared online features the man’s wife expressing confusion about the donations and questioning their origin.

Attorney Dan Backer, representing the foundation, confirmed that the FEC has opened a case and is reviewing the submitted evidence. “There is a process in place, and the commission is now engaged in that process,” he said. No determinations have been made at this time.

While the financial amount in question is relatively low, the situation has raised broader questions about how small-dollar donations are processed and verified—particularly through digital fundraising platforms such as ActBlue, which handled the contributions in this case. Crockett’s campaign has reportedly received over $870,000 through the platform, although no additional donations are currently part of the investigation.

Concerns about donation tracking and verification are not new. In previous election cycles, similar reports have emerged involving older donors whose names appeared repeatedly in federal donation records. Some families later reported they were unaware of the frequency or total value of these contributions.
