Penn. Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman’s campaign manager issued a warning to donors about a “scam PAC” that was “using John’s name and likeness for their own fundraising.”
Super PACs are barred by campaign finance laws from contributing directly to candidates like John Fetterman or coordinating with their campaigns. | Matt Rourke/AP PhotoLast weekend, Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman’s campaign issued a warning to donors about a purported scam. And for once,On Twitter and over email, Fetterman’s campaign manager, Brendan McPhillips, laid into what he called a “scam PAC” that was “using John’s name and likeness for their own fundraising.
But it’s a charge the group rejects, saying the super PAC has been transparent with donors, and is only looking to help elect Democrats. The more recent content included a video portraying Fetterman as a champion of the working class who would act as a bulwark against encroachments on democracy, women’s rights and health care.
By contrast, more than half of the super PAC’s $330,000 in disbursements has flowed to the committee’s employees or firms run by them, filings show. Dworkin argued that the nature of the Democratic Coalition’s work doesn’t translate well into FEC’s reporting requirements. “Because we are active on social networks on a daily basis, it requires relentless activity from our team, and so most of our expenses are labor related,” he said.
Though Fetterman’s campaign cast the group as a scam PAC, there are no legal requirements that spell out what percentage of a PAC’s spending must be put toward politicking — or paying their employees.
