We achieve this mission by hanging a lantem over public officials who put their own interests over the interests of the public good. Pursuant to 52 U.S.C. § 30109(a)(1), FACT submits this complaint and request for an investigation with the Federal Election Commission (FEC or Commission) against Patrick Murphy and Floridians for a Strong Middle Class (Floridians), an independent expenditure only committee registered with the FEC and formed to support Patrick Murphy's campaign for U.S. Senate (FEC ID C00577049). Based upon information and belief, Patrick Murphy and Floridians may have violated the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 and Commission Regulations. Murphy's super PAC has been primarily funded by Murphy's own company and a family member with whom he has financial ties, which appears to be unlawful coordination between a candidate and his super PAC. The Commission must immediately investigate and enforce the law.' In April 2015, Floridians was formed as a super PAC to support Murphy's candidacy for U.S. Senate.^ Since registering with the FEC, Floridians has been primarily funded by entities and individuals directly tied to Murphy.^ One $300,000 donation came from ' See 52 U.S.C.
