Yet another Democrat faces allegations of campaign finance violations. This time involving Washington Attorney General Christine Gregoire, who is running for governor
In a complaint to the state Public Disclosure Commission (PDC), the Republican Party claims that EMILY's List — a national group that raises campaign cash for Democratic women — has been violating state law by collecting checks on Gregoire's behalf and forwarding them to her campaign. The complaint also says EMILY's List exceeded the state's $1,250 campaign-donation limit. "The public should be wondering about their attorney general," said state GOP Chairman Chris Vance. "If anyone should know the law, it's her."Like most Democrats who support "campaign finance reform", Gregoire acts as if campaign finance restrictions apply only to Republicans.
