The new figures were released Tuesday after a federal judge ordered that detailed data be made public following challenges from news organizations. The federal cash was intended to help struggling small businesses pay workers and stay afloat during the lockdowns. The additional payments include $175,000 from Omar mentor Pramila Jayapal's (D., Wash.) committee, nearly $130,000 from the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party for Omar mailers, and $40,000 from the Democratic National Committee.

It was by far the campaign's largest vendor. Throughout the 2020 election cycle, Omar's campaign steered nearly $3 million to the E Street Group to cover advertisements, consulting, travel expenses, and production costs. Mynett's firm, whose LinkedIn page says it has between 11 and 50 employees, received the aid as it was being showered with cash from Omar's campaign. Both funds were established to help small businesses cope with the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The E Street Group, a D.C.-based company run by Mynett and Will Hailer, received $134,800 in Paycheck Protection Program loans and $500,000 in Economic Injury Disaster loans, new data show.
