From TPM:
Now that Senator Ted Stevens has gotten indicted, one big question is this: Will all the GOP Senators and Senate candidates dump the contributions he’s given them?
We now have the first reported case of a Republican Senator getting rid of such money: Sen. Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina, who is facing a well-funded challenge from Democrat Kay Hagan.
Campaign spokesman Hogan Gidley just told Election Central that the campaign has written a $10,000 check — the amount Dole has received this cycle from Stevens’ leadership PAC — to the Society of St. Andrew.
Iit seems that Norm Coleman received double that, just in the 2008 election cycle alone. I still haven’t heard any word from the Coleman campaign on what they’re going to do with all the dirty money they’ve received from Veco and Stevens.
UPDATE: Sununu dumped the money too:
“Team Sununu will be donating to charity the $10,000 received during this 2008 campaign cycle from Northern Lights PAC. The campaign had previously donated to charity contributions received from VECO employees who pled guilty to wrongdoing,” said Sununu’s campaign manager Paul Collins in a statement.
Norm Coleman: Will you donate the $20,000 received as well as the contributions received from Veco employees?
