“Fundraiser bags millions from conservatives, but owes taxes, child support’

Washington Examiner:

A fundraiser for conservative groups who has raised millions of dollarsby invoking small-government rhetoric is delinquent on his taxes and child support, despite having worked for a federal contractor and the District of Columbia tax office.

Todd Zirkle is executive director of Freedom’s Defense Fund, a political action committee that has received more than $7.4 million in contributions since 2010, most of which went to fundraising firms to which he has close ties. The companies are Base Connect in Washington, D.C., and a handful of other businesses that largely share office space and clients.

FDF conducts little actual political activity. The only ad on its website from this cycle attacks a Michigan candidate as a “foreclosure king.”
