7/30/26 - Statehouse Happenings: Engling's $60,000 Dark Money Mistake

Republican Candidate for Secretary of State Max Engling made headlines this week when his campaign announced they had returned a $60,000 donation from a dark money group associated with Senator Jim Banks. The announcement came after Knox County Clerk David Shelton filed a complaint about the donation. Multiple parts of the story have raised eyebrows, including Engling's camp claiming ignorance about the status of group despite what appears to be multiple associations with Engling over the past year. Will the dark money return be an issue during the campaign or something that will quickly be forgotten? Rob Kendall, Jim Merritt and Abdul-Hakim Shabazz discuss on Statehouse Happenings.
