State Auditor General Eugene DePasquale violated federal campaign finance law by using funds from his state-level campaign to prop up his congressional bid, a complaint filed by his Democratic opponent alleged.
And the complaint seems to have merit, said one campaign finance expert.
Tom Brier, a Hershey-based author and attorney who is slated to face off with DePasquale in the state’s 10th Congressional District primary race in June, filed the complaint regarding the use of $113,050 in funds with the Federal Election Commission on Friday.
