This is the Brand New Congress LLC headquarters at 714 S Gay St, Knoxville TN.

It was also the campaign headquarters of Democratic congressional candidates in New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Illinois.

I wonder if the socialists located their for-profit skimming operation in Tennessee to avoid state income tax.

Brand New Congress was apparently registered to do state tax withholding in Arkansas.

Brand New Congress was never registered to do business in Tennessee, where it is headquarters, but Saikat Chakrabarti's other LLC, Brand New Campaign was. Until its registration was revoked.

Anybody in Knoxville feel like heading to 714 S Gay St to see who's there and what they know?

Eight more campaigns for Congress all over the country headquartered at 714 S Gay St, Knoxville TN:

I just love that the socialists consolidated their backoffice employees for all these campaigns in a non-income tax state.

From a friend in Knoxville. Taken today. No sign of Brand New Congress.

For those asking about the retail storefront: it's Knoxville Soap and Candle, which I'm told opened in October.

Looks like the lead operative on the ground in Knoxville was Brian Corbin Trent, Treasurer of Justice Democrats.

And listed as a Tennessee resident throughout his work for both Justice Democrats and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Reading the @NLPC complaint and they have what pretty much amounts to a confession right on the Justice Democrats website.

This post from Justice Democrats gives the full explanation of how they were legally set up, with all of the campaigns run inside of Brand New Congress LLC (in non-income tax Tennessee!).

Campaign lawyers, please weigh in on their legal argument.

Seems to me hiding whole campaigns inside "strategic consulting" has to be a reporting violation, but there is a lot of unreported subvending on campaigns.

More significant is that I don't see how the LLC's PAC work could have been firewalled from its campaign work with AOC on the board. So there is an illegal coordination problem.

This seems like a problem when you're a vendor working for both campaigns and PACs that cannot legally coordinate.

Please leave the current tenants alone! They just moved in a few weeks ago and have no connection to anything political.

Some interesting new reporting from @mlakin @knoxnews.

Apparently the landlord was told the first LLC Brand New Campaign changed its name the the PAC Justice Democrats.

And they moved out in March 2018.
