According to Lobbyist.info, DSG's Melanie Hudson is the director of [[Stronger America Now]], whose purpose is "to accept donations in order to make disbursements to indirectly influence the selection, nomination, election or appointment of an individual to a federal, state, or local public office or office in a political organization, without expressly advocating the election or defeat of a clearly identified candidate for such an office."
