Here’s an interesting sidebar.

Churches, while by default non-profits, are also, as are non-profits, subject to “unrelated business income tax” if the engage in certain activities.

Selling adverting is one of those activities. If the church collected more than $1000 in UBI then the church must prepare and file a form 990-T and pay tax on any net income that might result from the activity.

The 990-T is a public document, and must be provided by the entity to the public.

This guy is a liberal that goes to church (i.e. a pro-life liberal).

In 2018, he published an opinion piece in The New York Times titled “Cruelty at the Border Is Not Justice” in which he characterized the Trump administration family separation policy as “unconscionable” and “inexcusable.”

He is a retired highschool principle who ran for governor multiple times and lost.

I’ve never voted for him in a primary election.
