April 12, 2026 - HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - Former Congressman Mo Brooks has released a staggering investigative report uncovering a sophisticated gambling syndicate that has funneled nearly $4 million into Alabama's political landscape. New evidence from Alabama FCPA filings reveals a clear dark money trail connecting out-of-state gambling interests directly to the 2026 legislative elections.
The Architecture of the Syndicate: The Alexandria Mailbox
The smoking gun of the investigation is the logistical overlap between the primary entities involved. Brooks reveals that the American Conservative Fund and the Win America PAC are operating out of the exact same physical location: a Staples store mailbox in Alexandria, Virginia.
This shared address confirms that these organizations-while appearing to be separate entities on paper-are part of a singular, coordinated operation. By utilizing the same out-of-state mailbox address, the syndicate provides a layer of separation between the gambling-interest donors and the Alabama candidates they seek to control.
The $1.65 Million Paper Trail: Sports Betting Alliance and DraftKings
Financial records from the SV&B PAC and the North Alabama PAC reveal a massive influx of cash timed to influence key races. Between November 2025 and April 2026, the syndicate moved over $1.65 million through these entities.
Crucially, the investigation traces the origin of these funds back to major out-of-state gambling interests, specifically the Sports Betting Alliance and DraftKings. The report alleges that these organizations are the primary engines behind the following transfers:
Nov 05, 2025: $250,000.00 (SV&B PAC)
Dec 30, 2025: $250,000.00 (SV&B PAC)
Feb 12, 2026: $250,000.00 (SV&B PAC)
Feb 20, 2026: $250,000.00 (North Alabama PAC)
April 06, 2026: A single massive transfer of $650,000.00 into SV&B PAC.
Key Figures and Targeted Opponents
The report identifies Brian Smith as the chairperson of the American Conservative Fund and a central figure in the Win America network. Smith and his primary associates are alleged to be the architects of this syndicate, directing the flow of dark money through various PACs to target specific legislative races.
The investigation highlights that the syndicate is surgically targeting veteran conservative leaders by recruiting and funding hand-picked challengers.
Key targets and the syndicate-backed candidates cited in the report include:
Senate District 34 Challenge to Rusty Glover: The syndicate is actively backing Doug Harwell Jr. in the primary challenge against veteran conservative Rusty Glover, utilizing the shared mailbox network to fund aggressive opposition efforts.
House District 1: In this race, the syndicate is funneling resources to support Representative Philip Pettus.
House District 50: The report details the recruitment of Bill Morris to challenge the seat in this district, ensuring the syndicate has loyalists in place to favor future gambling-related legislation.
Senate District 20: The syndicate is pouring significant funds into this district, utilizing the American Conservative Fund's resources in a coordinated effort to influence the outcome of the race.
Violations of the Fair Campaign Practices Act (FCPA)
Brooks asserts that these activities constitute a direct challenge to the integrity of Alabama's electoral process. The report outlines specific violations of the Fair Campaign Practices Act (FCPA), specifically Section 17-5-15, which prohibits the concealment of the true source of campaign contributions.
The report alleges:
The use of shell entities to hide the identities of donors like DraftKings and members of the Sports Betting Alliance.
The intentional circumvention of reporting requirements through the shared Virginia mailbox address.
Illegal PAC-to-PAC transfers designed to "wash" the money before it reaches local Alabama races.
Call for Action: Investigation by Attorney General Steve Marshall
In light of these findings, Mo Brooks has issued a formal call for Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall to launch an immediate criminal investigation into the American Conservative Fund, the Win America PAC, and the leadership roles held by Brian Smith and his collaborators.
"This is a calculated attempt to buy influence in the Alabama Legislature using millions in untraceable funds," Brooks stated. He is urging General Marshall to uphold the law and investigate the groups sharing the Virginia mailbox to protect Alabama's elections from the influence-peddling targeting the 2026 cycle.
