## 📰 Above the fold

A Trump-aligned dark money group just dropped another $2.175 million to help repeal Utah’s anti-gerrymandering law—bringing its total to nearly $3.3 million and making it the sole funder of the campaign.

[Utahns for Representative Government (UFRG)](https://www.ufrg.org/?ref=utahpolitics.news), a political issue committee led by Utah Republican Party Chair Rob Axson, is circulating petitions to [put a full repeal of Proposition 4](https://vote.utah.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Repeal-of-Independent-Redistricting-Commission-Direct-Initiative%5FFinal.pdf?ref=utahpolitics.news)—the anti-gerrymandering measure voters approved in 2018—on the ballot.

In late October, [Securing American Greatness donated $1,087,500](https://utahpolitics.news/trump-aligned-dark-money-group-bankrolling-utah-gop-effort-to-repeal-prop-4/) to UFRG for the petition drive. Last week, it added $2,175,000 more.

So far, Securing American Greatness has donated just shy of $3.3 million to the effort. They are UFRG’s only donor.

Securing American Greatness is a 501(c)(4) “dark money” group. It can raise unlimited funds without disclosing donors. [The only known corporate donor](https://www.citizensforethics.org/reports-investigations/crew-investigations/qualcomm-gave-1-million-to-pro-trump-dark-money-group/?ref=utahpolitics.news) so far is technology company Qualcomm, which corporate filings show gave $1 million sometime between September 2024 and March 2025.

Utah isn’t the only redistricting battleground drawing the group’s money. Earlier this year, it sent [$1 million to a Missouri group](https://www.kfvs12.com/2025/11/22/text-blast-draws-attention-out-of-state-money-fueling-dueling-campaigns-over-missouris-new-congressional-map/?ref=utahpolitics.news) working to stop a petition drive targeting a new congressional map that could give Republicans an extra seat.

The group formed during the 2024 presidential campaign and spent more than $60 million to boost Trump. It later dropped nearly [$8 million on ads pressuring congressional Republicans](https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/29/politics/republicans-ad-campaign-trump-bill?ref=utahpolitics.news) to back his economic agenda, and it was [behind a video](https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5220799-trump-posts-new-greenland-video-now-is-the-time-to-stand-together/?ref=utahpolitics.news) promoting Trump’s push to annex Greenland.

UFRG has until Feb. 15 to [collect just over 140,000 signatures](https://vote.utah.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2025-Signature-Requirements-for-a-Statewide-Initiative-Ballot.pdf?ref=utahpolitics.news) from registered voters statewide, plus signatures from 8% of registered voters in 26 of Utah’s 29 state Senate districts.
