DCCC uses tea party complaint against Palazzo

DISTRICT BY DISTRICT: ANOTHER TOUGH WEEK FOR HOUSE REPUBLICANS

Steven Palazzo (MS-04) – Steven Palazzo is under investigation by the Federal Election Commission

“Richard W. Keefer, a member of the Hattiesburg 9-12 Tea Party organization, filed the complaint over ‘what appear to be serious campaign law violations,’ he said, centered on campaign donations totaling $4,000 made by Palazzo’s brother-in-law, Lee Hertz. Keefer questions whether the money actually came from Palazzo’s father, Frank Palazzo. Federal campaign law prohibits anyone from making a contribution in another person’s name, and limits the amount individuals can give to a campaign.” [Sun Herald, 10/06/10]
