Another Rawson campaign finance boo-boo?

by David Safier

More from the campaign that can't shoot count straight.

Jennifer Rawson, whose campaign either was incompetent or borderline criminal in asking for matching funds for $2,650 in "contributions" even though the "contributors" were reimbursed, has now apparently taken a larger-than-legal contribution from someone named Klaus Axen. Rawson's campaign lists a total of $520 in contributions from Axen. The allowed total is $430.

True, the $90 extra won't buy Rawson much of a political advantage. But the continuing sloppiness of her campaign, if that's all it is, doesn't speak well for her overall competence. And competence, I would say, is an important campaign issue.

Here's a link to the letter sent by the Pima County Democrats to the City Clerk's office.
