Jefferson City, Mo. – Today, Crystal Brinkley, Executive Director of the Missouri Democratic Party, filed a complaint with the FEC against Eric Greitens and his campaign, for violating Federal law when his campaign committee paid for get-out-the-vote mail supporting a candidate for Federal office with funds from his Missouri campaign committee. The funds from his Missouri campaign committee were not subject to the Federal limitations, prohibitions, and reporting requirements and thus cannot pay for mail with the Trump-Pence logo on it.
“The latest mailer is just another flagrant violation of campaign finance laws by Eric Greitens, taking us to new heights in terms of necessary investigations into a shady GOP gubernatorial campaign,” said Brinkley. “The number of agencies who have to investigate Eric Greitens continues to grow, as Greitens’ campaign makes FIFA look like an upstanding and rule-abiding organization. Eric Greitens should focus less on lecturing others about ethics, and more on working to end his own unethical and illegal campaign practices. We hope the FEC will quickly investigate this violation and take action before the election.”
