[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like there will be some issues for Jawando:

https://montgomeryperspective.com/2026/06/08/state-board-of-elections-wants-detailed-written-explanation-from-jawando/?fbclid=IwdGRleAST_odleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEeLeDjn-VV9FvLaYbLk9eO_c-db01Lj-WhjC7y3r1chOeWJfMPcpsQy5Mbjto_aem_gl91kwvOXKBKj6GJZO9BmA

The complaint alleges that your federal senate campaign committee, Will Jawando for Maryland, transferred $115,000.00 to the Working Families Party PAC. Shortly after receiving these federal funds, the Working Families Party PAC reportedly spent $72,159.50 to support your public finance committee, Jawando, Will for Montgomery, for County Executive.[/quote]

This has been out there for a while but whoever complained conveniently waited so long that the complaint won’t be adjudicated until after the election. [/quote]

Not sure what you are implying? The contribution underlying this is less than three weeks old.

And the BOE did not have to send this inquiry if they did not think there was a reasonable claim to investigate.[/quote]

It wasn’t a contribution. It was an independent expenditure. Big difference. If the BOE thought this was serious it would have referred the matter directly to the State Prosecutor.

So here’s what will happen: The Jawando campaign will send a letter saying it didn’t coordinate with the PAC and the PAC (which probably got a similar letter) will say it didn’t coordinate with Jawando. Is it all legal? Yes, just like it’s legal for Andrew Friedson to get contributions from people he got tax abatements for. Should either be legal? Probably not. [/quote]
