Patty Steele Emerges as Key Node in Facebook/iHeart.com Coordinated Information Activity, Raising Influence Campaign Concerns

A significant coordination signal indicates a growing network centered around Congressman Tony Gonzales and conservative talk show host Joe Pagliarulo, now including Regina Santos-Aviles and the House Ethics Committee. The repeated co-appearance of an unidentified co-actor across multiple events, coupled with reporting on Gonzales and Pagliarulo in contexts of public sector management and compensation, points to a potential ethics or campaign finance impropriety, or an organized lobbying effort targeting Gonzales through this expanded network.
