Sean Noble is a former Congressional Aid and GOP consultant who served as the Chief of Staff for Congressman John Shadegg (R-AZ) for over a decade [1] before entering the nonprofit world in 2009 and becoming the Executive Director/President of Center to Protect Patient Rights(CPPR), a "dark money" 501(c)4 linked to the 2011 largest campaign finance money laundering scheme in California.[2] In his position as Chief of Staff to Congressman Shadegg in 2008, Noble earned $87,000 a year, and when he transitioned into his role in the nonprofit arena in 2009, bought a rowhouse on Capitol Hill and an eight-bedroom home in Utah, amounting to a value of over one million dollars.[3]
In addition to his role with CPPR and Presidency of Noble & Associates, Noble owns and serves as the President for DC London, Inc., a political consulting group based out of Arizona and D.C. which mysteriously uses the same founding address as American Commitment and Free Enterprise America. [4] Noble has also been identified as a member of the board for American Commitment, another dark money 501(c)4 organization. [4]

In addition, Noble was listed as a speaker for the 2011 Koch Summit in Rancho Mirage, California.
