Fountain Hills Forward, a political action committee, has filed its second quarter campaign finance report with the city of Fountain Hills as of July 15.
It was also reported, however, that a complaint had been filed because Fountain Hills Forward had not met the July 23 financial reporting deadline for a pre-election report. This complaint was dismissed after the committee submitted its report within a grace period of 15 days.
The committee is chaired by Christina Schlum with Tim Schlum as treasurer.
The committee, formed in April, raised $25,000 in contributions during the reporting period that ended July 15. All of that money came in the form of two contributions from Shea-Connelly Development of Scottsdale. Donations were $15,000 on April 20th and $10,000 on May 19th.
Fountain Hills Forward directed all of its contributions to Genesis Strategies LLC, a political consulting firm run by Tim Schlum with the stated goal of supporting conservative Christian political candidates. No Fountain Hills candidate reported receiving any contributions from Genesis Strategies.
According to the financial report, Genesis Strategies used the money for mailings ($9,385), surveys ($2,417), phone calls ($1,800), door hangers ($839), door-to-door solicitations ($3,457 ) and street signs ($1,558).
The Times reached out to Christina Schlum’s presidency with several additional questions, but has not heard back at the time of writing.
