$43,100 of the $57,600 Rizzo raised through Dec 31, 2021 comes from just 11 individuals. Five of those individuals are all related to the far-right Elizabeth Nader and contributed a combined $17,400.
At CPAC 2021, Elizabeth Nader can be seen hanging out with Lauren Boebert and Katie Gorka (Seb Gorka's wife). The other individual is Marla Luciano.
Nader seen here with Marla Luciano and Alexandra Elliott founded ASATT. Speakers include:
Nader proudly announced Seb and Katie Gorka will be speaking at ASATT.
Seb has previously told people to lean into it when people say they're racist. And he has strong ties to racist and fascist organizations.

Nader proudly announced, Moms for Justice founder Tiffany Justice will speak at ASATT. Moms for Liberty groups have been strongly against masks and vaccines, and have had a strong role in attempting to ban books and diversity, equity, and inclusion curriculum whch they label "CRT".
Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice (right) speaking on Steve Bannon's show. Tiffany is also a speaker at Elizabeth Nader's A Seat at the Table event.
Nader lists a Masters of Theology from the Christian Life School of Theology, which was once located in this building along Gateway Road in Columbus, GA.
Elizabeth Nader is a frequent host on Rosemary Becchi's Jersey 1st.
While Rizzo is very careful about what he says in public, his former campaign manager, church song leader, and treasurer, Seth Essendrop isn't.
Seth is a volunteer with the far-right Convention of States organization which seeks to utilize Article V of the US Constitution to call for a Constitutional Convention to implement policies which they are not capable of passing via Congress.
In an interview with Christopher McDonald, Seth agrees with McDonald that there was massive election fraud and explains he was "down in Washington DC on Jan 6th" and goes on to explain "the right thing to do was not certify."

In an interview with Christopher McDonald, Seth argues the Supreme Court overstepped its bounds by creating a new "protected class" via the 14th Amendment. He explains he wants a Convention of States to alter the Constitution because he is upset that members of the LGBTQ community were granted the right to marry.

In a 2017 OpEd, Seth argues we should eliminate Black History Month because we shouldn't patronize any minority group. He frames this as some sort of recognition of white privilege because there is no "White History Month". Given Seth's professed belief that racism isn't a problem, he motivations are highly suspect.
"Accordingly, I call upon all those truly committed to social justice to boycott Black History Month, and any other month so designated to patronize other minority groups. Until white Americans recognize their privilege, and submit themselves to the same reduction which they have imposed on “other” Americans, we will never have a truly equal society."

In a 2018 OpEd, Seth claims Christians focusing on negative aspects of the Bible miss the point of God's love. He then goes on to explain how Pastors should only be men. I suppose Seth is keen to cherry pick which passages are important.
"The Bible unequivocally states that the role of bishop or pastor should only be assumed by a man. In I Timothy 2:12 the Bible says that a woman is not to teach or usurp authority over the man, and in I Timothy 3:2 the Bishop is to be the “husband of one wife.”
A full reading of the New Testament will reveal many such other instances of the same command that the role of clergy is to be exercised by a man."

In a 2021 video, Seth explains his belief that those who do not believe in Jesus will go to hell. This is, of course, unsurprising for a Christian, but the degree to which Seth takes the Bible literally, combined with his desire to use Constitutional amendments to impose his views on others, puts him squarely in the far-right camp.

In a 2020 OpEd, Seth explains he's frustrated because of Supreme Court justices and the Federal government which he believes override local and state authority to do as they please. He also suggests that racism isn't really a problem. To resolve these issues, he wants a Convention of States to amend the Constitution to address issues which he believes are not being resolved the way he prefers via Congress.
"I scoff at the idea that America somehow has a racial justice problem. You see unjust racial disparities everywhere."
