Political committees formed by business associates of Tamarac Commissioner Marlon Bolton were funded by Bolton campaign donors, records show. In 2020, Trace Robinson created the Broward Vision PAC political committee using the same post office box address used by businesses owned by Bolton. Florida business records list Marlon Bolton and Trace Robinson as owners of The Driven Project, Praise Experience Worldwide Outreach Church, and South Florida Theological Seminary, Inc. The companies also use the same post office box. Robinson is the founder of Happy Feet Advertising.

Last month, Marlon Bolton refused to answer question regarding his ties to Happy Feet Advertising.

Days later, REDBROWARD revealed Happy Feet Advertising performed extensive campaign work for newly-elected North Lauderdale Commissioner Regina Martin. North Lauderdale campaign treasurer reports show Regina Martin paid $14,750 to Happy Feet during the 2020 election cycle.

On September 11, 2020, Regina Martin announced Broward Vision endorsed her campaign. “Thank you Broward Vision for your support and endorsement of our campaign..#letsrebuildtogether”

BUILT WITH MARLON BOLTON DONORS

State elections records show half of Broward Vision PAC donors were longtime Marlon Bolton donors. At least Twelve of Broward Vision PAC donors contributed to Marlon Bolton’s 2020 re-election campaign. Most of those funds were spent on businesses with ties to Bolton.
