Complaint Against Tea Party Addressed

A complaint filed by a Hebron man against the Northern Kentucky Tea Party in November of last year will be addressed at a Kentucky Registry of Election Finance board meeting in Frankfort on Wednesday. In his complaint, Jonathan Brown asserts advertisements purchased by the Northern Kentucky Tea Party prior to the November 2010 General Election amounted to an endorsement of candidates. “I believe the actions of (the Northern Kentucky Tea Party) violate KRS 121.025,” Brown stated in the complaint. “This blatant attempt to avoid the campaign finance laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky cannot go unchallenged and requires action by the registry. Failure to take appropriate action will result in further violations of Kentucky campaign finance laws in future elections.”
