ActBlue, the Democratic Fund-Raising Powerhouse, Faces Internal Chaos

At least seven senior officials have left the group, setting off deep concerns about its future as it confronts scrutiny from congressional Republicans.

ActBlue, the online fund-raising organization that powers Democratic candidates, has plunged into turmoil, with at least seven senior officials resigning late last month and a remaining lawyer suggesting he faced internal retaliation.

The departures from ActBlue, which helps raise money for Democrats running for office at all levels of government, come as the group is under investigation by congressional Republicans. They have advanced legislation that some Democrats warn could be used to debilitate what is the party’s leading fund-raising operation.
