Details of Alleged MA Initiative Campaign Finance Violations in New OCPF Complaints

Campaign finance complaints filed with Massachusetts' Office of Campaign and Political Finance allege that staffers and consultants involved in the 2024 Yes on 4 ballot initiative used 501(c)(3) nonprofits to conceal political activity. Former Yes on 4 staffers Graham Moore and Jamie Morey say they were instructed not to disclose their connection to the campaign on invoices and contracts tied to nonprofits advocating for access to psychedelics. The complaints also allege that funds routed through Heroic Hearts Project (HHP) to other nonprofits were not properly disclosed as in-kind contributions or as campaign-related financing required for ballot measures. The piece outlines alleged money flows, potential conflicts involving Open Circle Alliance and campaign staff leadership roles, and emails and texts cited in the filings. It also notes a rebuttal from a senior consultant, while Common Cause highlights the transparency stakes for Massachusetts ballot question disclosure.
