Sunshine Docket

Sen. Drew MacEwen

R-35 | Senate Deputy Republican Leader | Falcon Financial | Mountain Lakes Capital
Conflict

Summary

MacEwen manages the Nova Satus Venture Fund through Mountain Lakes Capital Management LLC (99% owner). The fund's holdings are not disclosed on his F1. He sits on the Environment, Energy & Technology Committee, where lobbyist-heavy donors (Green Diamond, Premera, Altria) have direct business. The disclosure system was not designed for venture fund managers who hold undisclosed portfolio positions.

The issue is opacity. Without knowing what the fund invests in, voters cannot assess whether MacEwen's committee votes affect his portfolio.
