PA-10: FEC complaint: Perry campaign illegally transferred funds to PAC
A complaint filed with the Federal Elections Commission accuses U.S. Rep. Scott Perry's campaign of improperly transferring funds to a political action committee.
The complaint, filed by Cumberland County resident Daniel Caruso, alleges that Perry's campaign transferred $5,000 from Patriots for Perry, the candidate's principal committee, to First Capital PAC, his leadership committee, on June 30, 2020.
"It was basically a bookkeeping error," said Matt Beynon, Perry's campaign spokesperson. "Unfortunately, it was caught after the closing of the books for the quarter."
Beynon said the reports will be updated in the October quarterly filing.
Perry, R-Carroll Township, is running for reelection in Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District against state Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, a Democrat.
The $5,000 in question was part of a $15,000 contribution from KochPAC, the political action committee of Koch Industries Inc. KochPAC is a prominent donor to conservative and Republican candidates.
