Agreements with one Indianapolis-based IT company, CleanSlate Technology Group, amounted to more than $2.3 million for services provided between March 2023 and July 2024.
Several weeks later, on Dec. 30, CleanSlate made a $10,000 donation to the Diego for Indiana election committee, according to the Indiana Election Division. It was the first time the company donated to Morales or any other Hoosier political candidate.
Then, on March 27, 2024, CleanSlate made a second donation, in the amount of $19,000, to Morales’ election committee. Another such contribution of $30,000 was made to the committee on June 24. The business has not made donations to any other Indiana candidate, according to campaign finance records.
  Morales, elected in 2022, was not up for reelection in 2023 or 2024.

  Additionally, a contract with MTX Group was signed on May 23, 2024 for “as-needed” IT services provided to the secretary of state’s auto dealer and business services divisions through the end of the calendar year. Total compensation for that work can total up to $1,842,300, according to the contract. The company has nearly reached that cap as of Dec. 7, expenditure records show.
      Not long after the contract was finalized, MTX founder Das Nobel, of Texas, donated $80,000 to Morales’ campaign coffers, according to campaign finance records.
