A watchdog group has charged that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, is using his 527 political organization, Our American Revival, “as his exploratory committee [for his presidential run], and in doing so is raising and spending funds that are beyond the contribution limits and source restrictions of the Federal Election Campaign Act.”
The complaint references press reports saying Walker’s group received two donations of $25,000 and $100,000, while the individual contribution limit to an exploratory committee is only $2,700.
If Walker has violated these rules, it shows a brazen disregard for the law. The Federal Elections Commission (FEC) should investigate these allegations without delay.
