The Doylestown Republican Committee recently accused the Doylestown Democrats of violating Pennsylvania Election Code by accepting corporate donations, which the Republicans say is prohibited under state law.
According to Bucks County Herald, the dispute arose after the Pennsylvania Department of State’s Bureau of Campaign Finance and Lobbying Disclosure reportedly required the Democrats to return certain contributions made at fundraisers earlier this year.
However, specific details about the amount and identities of the donors were not disclosed.
In response, Judy Dixon, chair of the Doylestown Democrats, stated the committee has complied fully with all relevant local, state, and federal campaign finance laws, according to the article.
She told the Herald that the Democrats proactively worked with the state department to address any concerns and dismissed the Republican accusations as political attacks aimed at diverting attention from their recent legislative actions.
The Republican committee maintained that the rules around Political Action Committees accepting corporate donations are clear and that the Democrats unlawfully used such funds to support candidates.
