State board OKs hearing into whether campaign contributions by PAC to Illinois gubernatorial GOP nominee Sen. Darren Bailey crossed a line.
Illinois State Board of Elections commissioners Wednesday authorized a deeper dive into allegations of election code violations by Republican Darren Bailey's gubernatorial campaign and a PAC headed by conservative radio host Dan Proft.
But"the Bailey for Illinois committee vehemently denies it has violated any campaign finance laws, and I am confident the State Board of Elections will find there has been no violation after a hearing on the merits," attorney Jeffrey Meyer, who is representing the former senator's campaign, said Friday.
"Then the board will hear from the parties in open session at a regular monthly board meeting," possibly as soon as April. Meyer charged the complaint did not provide evidence nor even contend that"the Bailey campaign had any control over any of Mr. Proft's actions."
