Overview

  • Kari Lake, a former TV anchor and current GOP Senate candidate in Arizona, made at least $175,000 from paid speeches and book royalties in 2023.
  • Lake was also paid $101,507 by Superfeed Technologies, a company once owned by former Arizona GOP chairman Jeff DeWit, whom she accused of trying to bribe her to stay out of politics.
  • Lake's financial disclosures have come under scrutiny after it emerged she was paid for up to 15 months of service with Superfeed Technologies.
  • DeWit resigned as GOP chairman after Lake threatened to release a 'damaging' audio recording, in which DeWit appeared to suggest a financial payment to Lake not to compete for the state's Senate seat.
  • Lake's financial disclosures also showed she received $100,000 for her book with Winning Team Publishing, a company cofounded by Trump Jr., and $75,000 in speaking fees to various organizations.
