DAR Not in Bed With Shady NJ SuperPAC According to DAR Prez Zebley
I asked, “what’s the connection between ‘Strengthening Our Communities’ and ‘Building Stronger Communities’?” After four days I got a response.
DAR President-Beau Zebley says:

There is ZERO affiliation between Strengthening Communities and the other PAC from NJ. First off we are a non-partisan PAC and have supported both sides of the aisle. Most importantly NCC races are local and the Delaware Association of Realtors does not get involved in local races. To call our Trade Association shady is wrong and somewhat defamatory. Please feel free to give me a call to discuss what we actually stand for.302-382-2947
That’s pissy, and he couldn’t get through it without throwing in a vague threat of legal action – but ok. Both PACS support Bruce Ennis for some reason, but I’m willing to believe that they aren’t coordinated. There is a different tone in the mailings I’ve received.
I had kinda arrived at the idea that the apparent overlap between the two PACS was incidental. But I appreciate all commenters who comment in good faith.
I think we’ve also arrived at the idea that the VERY shady New Jersey PAC is working for the construction trades and, most specifically, AFL-CIO/Building Trades head James Maravelias. Apparently Maravelias is bragging non-stop about his efforts to get rid of Meyer.
But that raises another question. The AFL-CIO/Building Trades has a lot of PACS – why would they funnel money through a VERY shady New Jersey PAC?
I hope this disabuses people of the notion that unions are some kind of bastion of liberalism.
