Washington, DC: The DC Republican Committee made the following statement today in regard to a letter the Office of Campaign Finance (OCF) sent to the DCGOP stating they have referred our request to the Reports Analysis and Audit Division (see attached). The DCGOP also sent a letter asking the OCF to review CSF donations to Democratic organizations that may not report with the OCF (see attached).
"The Office of Campaign Finance is being aggressive and immediately conducting a review. Constituent Service Funds are intended to help residents, not help Democratic organizations and reelection efforts," stated Bob Kabel, Chairman of the DC Republican Committee.
"Some Councilmembers are claiming CSF funds were just “passed through” Democratic organizations to fund scholarships. Scholarship or no scholarship, the moment a check is written to a Democratic organization, its considered a campaign donation," stated Kabel
"Worse yet, some of these contributions may have been diverted to other accounts because the donations are not showing up on publicly filed reports. Show us the money," concluded Kabel.
