Koch Network

A 2014 report by the left-of-center outlet ProPublica asserted that Sean Noble was recruited to help run Charles and David Koch’s multi-layered political network as he was starting his career as a political consultant with his firm Noble Associates. The report claimed that Noble channeled “dark money” from unnamed donors to conservative groups supporting Republican candidate Mitt Romney for president and preventing the recall attempt of then-Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R). The money was also given to groups that filed a legal challenge to Arizona’s redistricting plan and a group that blamed then-President Barack Obama for high gas prices. The money, according to ProPublica, was channeled through what was then called the Center to Protect Patient Rights (now American Encore). Sean Noble was compensated through his firms, Noble Associates and DC London, both of which were hired by the Center to Protect Patient Rights for consulting and management services. ³

Marijuana Repeal Initiative

In December 2025, Noble launched a recreational marijuana repeal initiative in Arizona. Noble’s proposed 2026 voter initiative would repeal Arizona Proposition 207 that legalized the use of recreational marijuana for adults 21 and over in 2020. ⁴
