New Mexico Megachurch Endorses Republicans, Testing Federal Ban
Original: New Mexico megachurch endorses Republican candidates, testing federal ban
A New Mexico megachurch has publicly endorsed Republican candidates, a move that directly challenges the federal ban on churches endorsing political candidates without risking their tax-exempt status. The endorsement has drawn attention to the long-standing restriction on political activity by religious organizations and is likely to prompt debate over church-state separation and possible IRS enforcement.
Why now: The endorsement openly challenges IRS rules restricting political endorsements by tax-exempt churches, sparking debate over church-state separation.
