Who/what is Brazos Values which is endorsing certain Brazos County candidates?

Why am I/are we getting unsolicited text messages from such, individual candidates, and PACs in general?

Between Bentley Nettles and Ben Bius, I'm sick of their relentless barrage of overly negative mailers, radio and tv ads.

$100k+ spent on a Brazos county commissioner race by Nettles … who does that? I know that early on one of the Precinct 1 candidates was approached by some of the Nettles' Bryan contingency … who "discouraged" him from running against their boy, man, Major.

The fact that Nettles even has a Bryan Contingency … since Precinct 1 is the southwestern precinct in Brazos County is a great concern.

Well I can break down what I found with a few quick searches.


https://www.facebook.com/BrazosValues/

Trent Sutton is listed as the Chairman on a letter posted on their Facebook page in November of 2021.
(it's not clear if he is still local or not now - it appears he lives in Kansas now but I can't be sure.)

(have to scroll down for the specific PAC)

The treasurer of the PAC lives in Leander TX

Public filings for the PAC goes back to "Suites on 6"

4040 Hwy 6
Ste 200
College Station, TX 77845

Digging deeper into the filings, one of the parties paid is a political ad agency at that same address and is also listed on their Facebook page.

I'm pretty sure I will catch a ban if I list all of the contributors to the PAC.

EDIT
The only one I think I would be safe in posting is
Partners for a Better Bryan PAC $1000

How do we find those contributors? And why would it be ban worthy if it's public info?

Each filing is a separate PDF file.



As far as the ban goes.
Some of the donors are local business people, others are politicians.
I (and others) have been banned for posting public info names before.
