The FEC prohibits federal contractors from donating to candidates or parties. One of GEO Group's approaches to skirt that rule is to use a subsidiary LLC called GEO Reentry Services, which doesn't itself have federal contracts, to give high-dollar donations. www.fec.gov/data/receipt...
Table titled "GEO Reentry Services LLC Political Giving Since Nov. 2025," listing recipients, their primary beneficiaries, and donation totals: MAGA Inc. (Trump-controlled), $4,413,000; CLF (Republicans, U.S. House), $1,300,000; SLF PAC (Republicans, U.S. Senate), $250,000; Restore Our Nation (Ron PAC) (Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-FL), $100,000; Stronger Safer Nation (Sen. Ashley Moody, R-FL), $20,000; Conservative Leadership for Florida (Scott Singer, R, Boca Raton, FL mayor running for Congress), $10,000. Grand total: $6,093,000.

THIS WAS MONEY FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE. A Florida grand jury found $10 MILLION meant to help provide health insurance for poor children was misappropriated for political purposes. Moody & DeSantis took money meant for kids. #GOPWarOnHealthcare
