From Sun Community News, Elizabethtown, New York, December 21, 2017:
KEENE | Katie Wilson, a candidate seeking the Democratic nomination to unseat Rep. Elise Stefanik, is questioning if campaign contributions to the lawmaker by a pro-Donald Trump political action committee present a conflict of interest during the Russian investigation.
Stefanik sits on the House Intelligence Committee, one of the panels investigating Russia’s potential interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Stefanik, a Republican, received $1,000 from the Great America Political Action Committee in February, according to Wilson’s campaign.
“I am calling on Rep. Elise Stefanik to return contributions made to her re-election campaign from the Great America PAC,” Wilson said in a statement Thursday. “Clearly there is a conflict of interest here. We must preserve the integrity of the House Intelligence investigation, and any appearance of pay-to-play politics is unacceptable.”
Great America raised and spent over $30 million in support of Trump’s candidacy, and has continued donations to GOP politicians since the election, said the Wilson campaign.
“By returning these pro-Trump PAC campaign donations, Rep. Stefanik will prove she serves only our democratic process and that she can be an impartial voice in this investigation,” Wilson said.
