U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake was paid more than $100,000 for up to 15 months of service with the company once headed by the man she helped depose last week as chair of the Arizona Republican Party.
Lake received the money as an adviser to Superfeed Technologies, which designs apps for campaigns and was formerly headed by Jeff DeWit, who was until last week the head of the state GOP.
It is part of the personal financial records Lake filed Tuesday that offer a view into the financial support network for her since she quit her job as a Phoenix TV newscaster and ran for governor and, now, the U.S. Senate seat held by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz.
Lake’s financial records show her position with Superfeed began in April 2021, a month after she quit her longtime job as a newscaster with Fox 10, and ended in March. That’s about the same period that DeWit told her in a meeting she recorded there were “very powerful people who want to keep you out” of the Senate race.
DeWit’s online resume has said his position as CEO of Superfeed ended in January 2023, weeks before he took over as Arizona Republican Party chair.
