Zeldin campaign under investigation for super PAC coordination

 

Rep. Lee Zeldin, the Republican candidate for governor in New York, is under investigation by the State Board of Elections over allegations that he coordinated with two super PACs supporting his campaign, according to The New York Times.

 

Michael Johnson, the chief enforcement counsel of the New York State Board of Elections, opened a preliminary investigation into Zeldin’s campaign after the allegations emerged earlier this month, the Times reported.

 

Johnson is now seeking subpoena authority from the State Board of Elections to compel cooperation with his investigation, according to the Times.

 

However, he was stymied when two Republican members of the board unexpectedly missed a business meeting on Tuesday, preventing the board from reaching a quorum to vote on the subpoena issue and likely delaying the issue until after the election, the Times reported.

 

The Albany Times-Union first reported in mid-October that there were several overlaps between Zeldin’s campaign and two super PACs supporting him — Safe Together New York and Save Our State New York.

 

Days later, the New York State Democratic Party filed a complaint against Zeldin’s campaign over the alleged coordination. Super PACs are legally allowed to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money to advocate for or against candidates but are barred from coordinating with the candidates they benefit.

 

Zeldin has closed in on New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) in the final weeks of the campaign, with a recent Quinnipiac University poll showing Hochul holding just a 4-point lead.

A MAGA House candidate in Ohio was abandoned by the national GOP after questions about his military service. He could make it to Congress anyway.

 

Two weeks out from election day, Republican House candidate JR Majewski seemed to have found a way to explain away his unsupported claims about serving in Afghanistan. At least to his most loyal supporters.

 

"My campaign is not about my military veteran status," the first-time candidate told a crowd of roughly 40 people who had gathered in a Toledo cafe for a "meet and greet" on a cloudy Tuesday afternoon. That's despite Majewski's campaign slogan reading: "Conservative Veteran for Congress," with the word "veteran" highlighted in red.

 

Majewski, 42, has claimed he served in combat and in Afghanistan after the 9/11 terror attacks, but the US Air Force says it has no record of his service there. Military records obtained by the Associated Press instead show he served mostly in Japan before a six-month stint loading planes in Qatar in 2002.

 

Attendees at the Tuesday event largely consisted of Majewski's long-time supporters and a handful of local GOP officials, most of whom spoke about the importance of defeating Majewski's opponent, the long-serving Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur. They agreed that despite his dubious claims about his military record, he was still their man.
