His campaign also has paid more than $100,000 to the Pluvious Group, a Republican firm that organized fundraisers for Trump’s 2020 campaign.

In addition to Kozacik’s role in the Trump fundraiser, the Pluvious Group has also been linked to questionable campaign finance practices in the past.

The Pluvious Group handled fundraising for Strickland during that 2010 campaign, records show.

Trey Kozacik of the Pluvious Group sent fundraising e-mails on behalf of the Lacey campaign, and his name appeared on a flier promoting a $1,500-per-person event at a downtown sushi restaurant in support of Lacey’s reelection bid held Thursday night.

In a statement, Lacey said her campaign had been unaware of Kozacik’s work with the Trump campaign, adding that neither he nor the Pluvious Group will be involved in her future fundraising activities.
