## Resource

A Republican campaign for Indiana Secretary of State is under fire after accepting a $60,000 donation from a “dark money” nonprofit, Hoosier Leadership for America — a group that shields donor identities and allegedly violates state limits on corporate contributions. Though the campaign claims they returned the funds out of caution after the transfer, the donor’s obscure status and the group’s history of spending millions on political ads have ignited legal and ethical scrutiny. The complaint comes from Engling’s own primary opponent, adding fuel to the debate over campaign finance transparency as the election heats up.
