"In the past several elections, these business PACs have reared their heads to spend the money of often mysterious donors on 'attack' mailers... These mailers and messages are distinguishable from 'contrast' ads that are fairly aimed at differentiating the policy positions, qualifications, or character of candidates."
"Biz PAC and SCCAOR apparently feel they need to pick up the attack ad mantle from the disgraced SVO PAC that dissolved in 2020 after numerous community leaders called its leadership out for a blatantly racist campaign webpage and racist dog whistle mailers."
"In the 2022 mayoral race, Biz PAC spent tens of thousands of dollars on grotesque and misleading ads accusing Supervisor Cindy Chavez of silencing the Asian American community, using race as a means to divide San Jose residents and attempting to sow distrust in an entire segment of our community."
