A consulting firm run by a top Biden campaign official is receiving $35 million from California for a voter outreach program linked to the state's coronavirus response.

The program aims to "educate the public on the safety, security, and ease of voting in the November General Election amid the COVID-19 pandemic" and was launched following Democratic governor Gavin Newsom's May decision to send every registered voter in the state a mail-in ballot. The $35 million comes in addition to the $2.1 million SKDK has collected from the Biden campaign since June 2019.

According to documents obtained by the Sacramento Bee, the contract asks SKDK to give "special attention" to "reaching first-time mail voters," as well as those with language barriers. The state's contract approval process was expedited for the November election.

SKDK has close ties to former president Barack Obama and Democratic nominee Joe Biden. The firm's managing director, Anita Dunn, previously served as Obama's White House communications director and is now leading Biden's presidential campaign. SKDK's political consulting webpage says it is "proud to be a part of Team Biden" and touts previous campaign work with former president Bill Clinton, former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, and disgraced former congresswoman Katie Hill (D., Calif.), among other Democrats.

In addition, SKDK has advocated for police reform and expressed support for the Black Lives Matter movement. The firm on Thursday accused President Donald Trump of "telling white Americans they should be afraid of Black and brown Americans," adding that recent police shootings are "a direct result of 400 years of systemic...

If that is not a violation of law, it should be.

Every CEO and company in California that receives state money should be investigated for corruption.

DNC and its affiliates are a crime syndicate and nothing is done. They make the Mafia look like rookies.

This is not just a vanilla-flavored "top Biden campaign official", but rather the lovable and impressive Anita Dunn, the one married to the former personal counsel to President Obama

The same Anita Dunn who said China’s Chairman Mao Zedong is her 'favorite political philosopher" - one she "turns to...to encourage others to break from the mold and blaze their own trail in life".

Mao, of course, is the barbaric founder of Communist China who killed 70-80 million of his own people (or, for perspective: 10 times more than Hitler), according to the Washington Post.

Anita, in her own way, effectively portrays the aptitude and agenda of Biden's handlers
