Company Owned By Tamarac Commissioner Marlon Bolton Made Numerous Contributions To PAC Tied To Marlon Bolton

2 Replies

Last month, a political committee tied to Tamarac Commissioner Marlon Bolton reported numerous contributions from a company owned by Marlon Bolton, records show. Since 2014, Marlon Bolton has owned and operated Forecast Holdings, LLC. State election reports show Forecast Holdings, LLC made four contributions to Residents United PAC during the month of December.

On December 1, 2021, Residents United PAC reported a $4,500 contribution from Bolton’s Forecast Holdings, LLC. On December 4th, Forecast Holdings, LLC made a $1,728.05 “in-kind” contribution to Residents United. The record shows the contribution consisted of “post cards and signs.”

On December 29, 2021 Forecast Holdings, LLC made another in-kind contribution to Residents United PAC consisting of $524.30 worth of postcards. On December 31st Residents United PAC reported a $518.95 in-kind contribution by Forecast Holdings, LLC for “eddms services” and yard signs.

“Every Door Direct Mail” (EDDMS) is a method to target mail to specific households.

Residents United PAC reported four expenditures in December 2021. Minuteman Press in Coral Springs received a $3,261.48 payment on December 7th for mailing services. On December 8th, Murry Robinson received a $500 payment for Get Out The Vote (GOTV) canvassing. Robinson is often employed by political campaigns supported by former Broward County Commissioner Dale Holness.

On December 9, 2021, Residents United PAC paid $1,000 to WZOP for radio advertising. According to its website, WZOP is “South Florida’s 24/7 Non-Commercial Caribbean Radio Station.” WZOP claims the City of Lauderhill and the City of Lauderdale Lakes are two of its sponsors.

These contributions were reported days following the Democrat primary for U.S. Congress District 20 where overwhelming favorite Dale Holness was beaten by political newcomer Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick by five votes.

Did Residents United PAC use Marlon Bolton’s contributions to aide Dale Holness’ lackluster campaign?

Last year, REDBROWARD exposed Marlon Bolton’s deep ties to Residents United PAC and other mysterious political committees involved in Broward elections.

RESIDENTS UNITED?

REDBROWARD revealed a company tied to Marlon Bolton provided services to the 2020 campaign of Tamarac Commissioner Elvin Villalobos. State records show Carl K. Williams is the managing member of the company. The State records list P.O. Box 246164 in Pembroke Pines as the mailing address for Mojo Global Holdings.

State records list Carl Williams and the P.O. Box 246164 on the business records for New Convenant Ministeries International-Miami Florida. While the post office box is listed as its mailing address, since 2017, corporate records show the principal address of New Convenant Ministeries International-Miami Florida as 1625 S. State Road 7 in North Lauderdale.

Since 2015, the storefront at 1625 S. State Road 7 in North Lauderdale has been the principal address for Praise Experience Worldwide Outreach Church. This church is owned by Marlon Bolton.

Not only is Carl Williams a Bolton appointee to the City of Tamarac parks & recreation committee, new videos show Williams assisting Bolton during church services at his North Lauderdale church.

On April 12, 2019, Carl Williams created the “Go Tamarac Go PAC” using the P.O. Box 246164 mailing address. The only money listed in the Go Tamarac Go reports is a $1,750 contribution by the PAC’s treasurer Joseph Malucci. Tamarac campaign records show Malucci made contributions to Marlon Bolton’s campaign.

Also on April 12, 2019, Carl Williams formed the “Residents United PAC” using the P.O. Box 246164 address. On July 31, 2020, Residents United PAC received a $7,500 contribution from Exy Consultants at P.O. Box 451711 in Fort Lauderdale and a $1,000 contribution from Joseph Malucci.

But these contributions were not made by “Joseph Malucci.” There is no “Joseph Malucci.” They were made by Malucci Joseph, a Fort Lauderdale female who performs during services at Bolton’s Praise Experience Worldwide Outreach church.

In addition to her roles in Go Tamarac Go PAC and Residents United PAC, Malucci Joseph is the chairperson and treasurer of the Tallahassee based Conservative Governance PAC.

Why do so many parishioners of Marlon Bolton’s church end up opening political committees?

Trace Robinson another church associate of Marlon Bolton operates the mysterious Happy Feet Advertising company. REDBROWARD documented Marlon Bolton’s ties to Happy Feet and Robinson.

Marlon Bolton refuses to answer questions about his ties to these companies and political committees. Why would someone need so many cutouts to support local campaigns when Bolton could offer support in his own name?

How long will Marlon Bolton be allowed to act with impunity while flouting campaign rules and regulations?

Tamarac residents deserve answers, right?

Florida House Representative Anika Omphroy Paid Mysterious Advertising Firm Tied To Tamarac Commissioner Marlon Bolton And His Church

Anika Omphroy & Marlon Bolton

While State Representative Anika Omphroy (D-Hazelle Rogers is my aunt) faces questions over her failure to file campaign treasurer reports, we do know a few details about her campaign finances. On August 12, 2020, Omphroy received a $100 check from former Tamarac interim city attorney Hans Ottinot. Two days later, Anika Omphroy hired a “campaign marketing” company with close ties to Tamarac City Commissioner Marlon Bolton (D-Bully).

On August 14, 2020, Anika Omphroy paid $2,000 to 100 Volunteers Of Florida for “campaign marketing services. State business records show 100 Volunteers Of Florida was less than a month old when Omphroy paid them. As REDBROWARD previously reported this fictitious Tallahassee-based company is owned by a close business associate of Marlon Bolton.

HAPPY FEET

State business records show 100 Volunteers Of Florida is a fictitious name created by Happy Feet Advertising LLC of Margate.

Happy Feet Advertising LLC is owned by Trace N. Robinson of Margate. The mailing address for Happy Feet Advertising is listed as P.O. Box 451711 Fort Lauderdale, FL 33345.

State business records also show numerous companies owned by Marlon Bolton use the same post office box.

Florida business records show the same post office box address was used by Marlon Bolton since at least 2014. These businesses include Tyson Bolton and Associates, Forecast Holdings, LLC, Prophet Fire, and Win Without War. These same records show Marlon Bolton and Trace Robinson are business partners.

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.

Last year, Trace Robinson created the Broward Vision PAC political committee. The address for the PAC is the same post office box used by Bolton.

State of Florida campaign records show Broward Vision PAC paid $1,400 to Exy Consultants, a corporation created under the Happy Feet Advertising LLC name by Robinson. Exy Consultants used the same P.O. Box 451711 address as Marlon Bolton.

Reports show Bolton paid tens of thousands of dollars to Happy Feet Advertising during the 2020 election cycle.

REDBROWARD also revealed North Lauderdale Commissioner Regina Martin paid Happy Feet Advertising during her 2020 campaign. Campaign treasurer reports show Martin paid $14,750 to Happy Feet during the 2020 election cycle.

Last week, REDBROWARD revealed Broward Supervisor of Elections Joe Scott paid $2,000 to Happy Feet Advertising in July 2020.

Pastor Marlon Bolton, aka “Prophet Fire,” repeatedly says he teaches “civic engagement” as his Praise Experience Worldwide Outreach church in North Lauderdale. When declaring it “Marlon Bolton Day,” Broward County Commissioner Dale Holness said Bolton’s church is where you go to get elected.

Did Regina Martin, Joe Scott and Anika Omphroy pay a company with deep ties to Marlon Bolton and his church for “civic engagement?”

Is a church allowed to participate in “civic engagement” funded by politicians, political committees and special interests?

Does anyone care?
