Mailers promoting a socialist candidate in Ohio Senate race have links to MAGA super PAC vendor

Mailers now reaching Ohio households push a socialist independent, Greg Levy, as a better choice than Democratic Senate nominee Sherrod Brown, and federal records tie the money behind them to Republican operatives. The Associated Press, in reporting carried by PBS NewsHour, says the sponsor is Enough Promises Ohio PAC, a group registered with the Federal Election Commission on Sept. 29. It has not yet been required to name its donors.

The fliers use slogans such as "Join the Revolution" and urge sending a worker to the Senate. Levy, who identifies as a socialist on his X account, says the mailings falsely pose as his own campaign material and are meant to deceive voters. He told followers the practice is undemocratic and said he is weighing legal action.

Spending reports show the PAC handed more than $397,000 to Seven Farms for printing, postage and mailing, split across two payments last week. Seven Farms is itself newly formed and shares a South Carolina suite with Whistlestop Strategies LLC, a direct mail business run by Big Dog Strategies LLC. Big Dog counsels the pro-Trump super PAC MAGA Inc. and ran Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno's winning 2024 race against Brown.
