North Carolina dark-money nonprofit that boosted Tillis in 2014
Carolina Rising was a 501(c)(4) 'social welfare' nonprofit founded in March 2014 and run by GOP operative Dallas Woodhouse (later executive director of the North Carolina Republican Party). It spent roughly $4.7 million on television ads promoting Thom Tillis in his 2014 U.S. Senate race, and its tax filings later showed nearly all of its money came from Karl Rove-linked Crossroads GPS, prompting FEC and IRS complaints alleging illegal coordination and campaign activity.
