Citizens for a New Delaware Way, a $1 million
Political Action Committee, is also calling on the former staffers
from the Hall-Long campaign to come forward if they have any
information on her campaign finance improprieties
Today, following the shocking revelations brought to light this
week that DE Lieutenant Governor Bethany Hall-Long broke the law
dozens of times as part of an elaborate effort to skirt campaign
finance laws and basic ethical standards for elected officials, the
Citizens for a New Delaware Way (CNDW) PAC released the following
statement:
“This week’s shocking report that Bethany
Hall-Long broke Delaware law dozens of times by improperly
reporting the hundreds of thousands of campaign dollars she paid to
herself and her husband and failed to submit a financial audit to
the State Board of Elections – all while accepting campaign
donations far exceeding legal limits – make it clear that she is
not fit to serve this state as Governor.
“For those who have been paying close
attention to Delaware’s broken politics, this is beginning to sound
like a broken record. But this week we have seen the tides shift in
real time, as courageous Delaware leaders such as House
Representative Sophie Phillips stated clearly: Hall-Long has
“repeatedly broken the law and broken our trust.”
“But we need more to come forward for the
good of Delaware and the people who put their faith in its
institutions, beginning with the senior leadership of the State’s
Democratic Party.
“Further, as reports of the Lieutenant
Governor’s campaign staff and volunteers resigning due to the
alarming violations she is guilty of, we are eager to talk to any
and all former staffers about what really transpired and encourage
them to come forward.
“With so many questions still unanswered, it
is critical that this report not be the end of the investigation
into the Lieutenant Governor – who must be held accountable for her
blatant disregard for Delaware law. For the good of the state,
Bethany Hall-Long must drop out of the Governor’s race
immediately.”
