Episode Details

A major redistricting push tied to Donald Trump just got a lot more transparent — thanks to FEC records revealing Chuck Goodrich, Indiana’s new Commerce Secretary, as a top funder. Through his company Gaylor Electric, he donated $300K to the American Leadership PAC, which backed Trump-aligned candidates after Indiana’s Senate rejected his redistricting plan. The PAC, linked to strategists Andy Surabian and James Blair and dubbed “Banks-blessed,” also received $2.5M from Securing American Greatness and $750K from Governor Mike Braun. Together with other PACs, they poured $1.5M into ads and helped flip five of seven targeted Senate seats. Goodrich, who took office July 13 and will keep running Gaylor Electric for just $1/year, previously served as a state legislator and ran for Congress.
