Janice Lewis-George Faces Campaign Coordination Allegations
The Office of Campaign Finance has opened an investigation into Janice Lewis-George's campaign. The probe will also examine whether staff members were properly compensated. This investigation comes two weeks before the campaign period concludes. The campaign has denied allegations regarding involvement in unions or Political Action Committee activities. Officials stated the investigation was opened despite the city not being required to investigate upon receipt of a complaint. The campaign claims the allegations are attempts to generate negative headlines. Ballots are expected to be sent out soon, potentially impacting her ground operations in the mayoral race. The source noted that opponents will likely attempt to impede the campaign. The investigation focuses on claims that the campaign worked with a super PAC funded by labor unions, which is prohibited for political campaigns.
