National Democrats filed a federal complaint against state Senate President and Republican Congressional candidate Tim Bee, claiming an ad on his behalf was an illegal campaign contribution.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee filed the complaint with the Federal Elections Commission this week. It names a collection of school board members who paid for the ad but did not identify themselves as responsible for it.. . .
“A reasonable person cannot possibly interpret this ad to be anything other than express advocacy,” the complaint reads.
It goes on to say: “Airing in the midst of a heated campaign for United States Congress, and airing across the Congressional district and beyond a state senator’s current legislative district, it purports to ‘thank’ a federal candidate for his involvement with a state bill that has already passed the Arizona Senate.”
Stay tuned for further developments.
