The PAC, known as the Accountable Leadership Committee, received $50,000 from a Washington, D.C., fund to support candidates in the trustee races
campaign finance records filed with the school district show
The money supported two candidates trying to unseat incumbents: Scott Bray
who is challenging incumbent Kelly Cavender for the Place 3 trustee seat
who is challenging incumbent Garrett Linker for Place 6

Bray and Church have said they are not involved with the committee
which has sent out advertisements supporting them
The committee’s website doesn’t give information on its mission or origins apart from the statement that it is “fighting for accountability and transparency.”
The complaint was filed by Doug Charles, who founded a now-inactive political action committee that supported Linker in Prosper ISD’s 2022 trustee race
Charles called the $50,000 contribution “dark money” — donations that can’t be traced because the source isn’t disclosed
The committee lists Dustin McIntyre as its treasurer on campaign finance records and includes a Nevada phone number and an address with a Frisco mailbox
Calls made to McIntyre’s listed number were not returned Monday
The ethics commission will review Charles’ complaint at 9 a.m
The commission accepted jurisdiction on the complaint this month
which does not mean the commission found that a violation occurred
“It is scary. … $50,000 just didn’t randomly show up from Washington, D.C., into Prosper ISD,” Charles said in an interview
Charles said the committee violated state campaign finance rules by naming a treasurer after it had already spent money on mailers
Texas election law prohibits committees from accepting or spending more than $500 without having a campaign treasurer
He also alleged the committee did not submit the right paperwork listing its out-of-state contributors and information filed with the Federal Election Commission
who has been a teacher in the district for five years
said she believes the money from the committee has become a distraction
“Political action committees have no business in ISD races,” she said in an interview
The committee’s only contributor on campaign finance reports is the American Jobs and Growth Fund
but does not list any other identifying information
“American Jobs and Growth Fund aims to advances policies to change the long-term fiscal trajectory of the United States through responsible spending policies,” the fund’s 2022 tax form states
the complaint could either be resolved by dismissal or by an agreed order
the complaint would then go to a formal hearing and the commission could either dismiss it or issue an order

The home’s 14-bay garage includes two oversized spaces that could hold a yacht or RV. The home was featured on Zillow Gone Wild’s social media accounts Tuesday.
The current owner purchased the property in 2022 with plans to renovate it, but he never lived in the home, Stevens said.
“So, the last person to actually live in the property was Deion,” she said.
The ideal buyer would be an athlete willing to restore the home. It’s priced below a recent appraisal because the property needs some work. But it’s in a prime location, Stevens said.
“You already have the bones. You already have the land,” she said. “You’re not going to find this location and this amount of land — especially for that price (in Prosper.)"

DALLAS -- Mavericks forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper has undergone season-ending surgery on his right wrist, one of many injuries that have plagued the defending Western Conference champions since they traded Luka Doncic
The team announced the surgery Thursday night
and said Prosper would miss the rest of the season
Prosper's playing time surged in his second season as the injuries piled up for Dallas. He made his second start of the season in the first game after Doncic was sent to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis
Davis injured his groin in his Dallas debut, and the setbacks just kept coming for the Mavericks. Prosper was among the eight players listed as out in the Mavericks' most recent game, a 126-116 loss at San Antonio on Wednesday
Prosper was shut down after playing 25 minutes in a 30-point loss at Milwaukee on March 5
The 2023 first-round pick averaged 3.9 points and 2.4 rebounds in 11.2 minutes per game this season
Davis still hasn't returned, and the Mavericks are 10th in the West, the final spot in the play-in tournament. Dallas lost to Boston in the NBA Finals last season

Prosper Marketplace, the last vestige of the P2P lending era, put up a repeat origination performance in 2024 vs 2023. The company originated $2.2B in consumer loans in 2024 and in 2023. That number had hit $3.3B in 2022 as part of the post-covid boom and had come in at only $1.9B in 2021
Only 7% of its originations in 2024 were from the “note channel” aka the peer-to-peer platform
“We have incurred operating losses in prior years and may continue to incur net losses in the future,” the company disclosed in its annual report
we incurred net losses of $54.1 million and $106.5 million
