KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Republican Josh Hawley’s Senate campaign will donate a
$2,500 contribution from a political action committee accused of scamming donors
by claiming to support police officers.
Campaign spokeswoman Kelli Ford said the money from the Police Action Fund
will be contributed to the Missouri Sheriffs’ Association and the Missouri
Police Chiefs Association.
The Kansas City Star reports the Hawley campaign received the donation this
summer from the Virginia-based PAC.
Media and police in Colorado, Indiana and Maine have warned against the
organization, which claims to be concerned citizens who support law enforcement
and legislators who do the same.
Federal Election Commission filings show during the current cycle, the
Police Action Fund has donated less than 5 percent of the $1.4 million it has
raised to candidates and parties.
