Democrats file complaint over ad attacking Denny Heck in the 3rd
The Associated Press reports that the state Democratic Party has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission over a TV ad attacking Democratic congressional candidate Denny Heck.
According to the AP:
The complaint alleges that a national conservative group, Americans for Prosperity, may have illegally coordinated efforts with the campaign of Republican candidate Jaime Herrera, who is Heck’s opponent for the open seat in the 3rd Congressional District.
Party chairman Dwight Pelz says the complaint was mailed Wednesday. The complaint cites the use of people in the ad who are supporters of Herrera.
Herrera spokesman Casey Bowman says the campaign had no involvement in the ad, and will dispute the claim with the FEC.
