An Orange County company called FrontPoint Partners has used its political money to attack at least one of Luis Chavez's political opponents and support Elizabeth Jonasson Rosas' bid for southeast Fresno's councilmember. The company has also been represented by well-known Fresno-area political consultant Alex Tavlian.

In this episode of Fresnolandia, Jordan and Dani sit down with Omar Rashad, Fresnoland’s government accountability reporter, to dig into his recent investigation into dark money and its influence on a recent election in Fresno.

Omar breaks down the key players, the fines and history of dark money, and what this means for transparency and trust in local politics.

Then, Dani, Omar, and Jordan share what they are loving this week.
