GOP Official Files Campaign Finance Complaint

Montgomery, AL – The Alabama Republican Party's senior vice chairman has filed a complaint with the Alabama Attorney General after a Democratic group accepted contributions the past two years but failed to file a campaign finance report since 2008.

The Alabama Democratic Conference accepted significant contributions from Democratic campaigns in 2010 and made its own contributions in 2009 and 2010. State records show the group has not filed a campaign finance report since 2008.

The lack of reporting led to the complaint filed with Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange.

Officials at the ADC, a 50-year-old black political organization, referred questions to chairman Joe Reed. Several attempts to reach Reed were unsuccessful.

A spokeswoman for Strange's office said they had received the complaint but had no further comment.
