Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., personally requested the Department of Commerce approve a multimillion-dollar funding request that would benefit a group chaired by his campaign treasurer.
The ACT Now coalition is led by the Coalfield Development Corporation and composed of several West Virginia municipalities, schools and organizations including the Charleston Area Alliance, an economic development group chaired by Jack Rossi who is also listed as the treasurer of the Joe Manchin for Senate campaign in federal elections filings. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"Please accept this letter as a record of my support for Coalfield Development Corporation, their respective coalition partners, and this application," Manchin wrote in October 2021 to Castillo. "I understand that, if approved, funding provided by this opportunity will be utilized to support the Appalachian Climate Technology Now Initiative."
