Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) recently filed an ethics complaint against Merchan, pointing to a blatant conflict of interest. It turns out, Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is at the center of the controversy. She runs a digital marketing firm, Authentic Campaigns Inc., which has deep ties to Democratic candidates. And wouldn’t you know it — Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign recently entered into a financial relationship with Authentic.
