Just the words “campaign finance law” are enough to make most people nod off. If it doesn’t involve cash bribes or busted kneecaps, who cares, right? We do, of course! Here’s the gist of the newest wonky political scandal. Dow Constantine’s campaign treasurer Jason Bennett, of local campaign consulting firm Argo Strategies, is also the campaign treasurer for FAIRPAC, reported the Seattle Times in early August. The Democratic political action committee sponsored a primary mailing by Moxie Media giving voters a list of Susan Hutchison’s Republican ties–donations to GOP candidates and the like–and saying she’s a threat to reproductive rights. FAIRPAC also paid $8,200 for anti-Hutchison robocalls before the primary. Now having the same guy keeping track of several people’s cash and filing reports with the state Public Disclosure Commission is kosher, but if that guy is helping an individual candidate and a PAC work together, that’s a big no no.On June 30, the Argo Strategies Twitter feed had this post: “wants u! Dow’s Midsummer’s Night Drink @Spitfire tonight @5:30 pm. Join! Support a great bar, support a great candidate. 2 birds, 1 stone.”Which starts to make it look like Bennett is doing more than paperwork for both campaigns. The connection has started showing up in comments on stories and blog posts about the campaign and this afternoon, Hutchison called for the PDC to investigate. She says, via press release: Chairman Constantine has a deeply troubling association with this special interest attack group and Susan asks the Public Disclosure Commission to move quickly to fully investigate these campaign violations in order to hold those who may have broken the law accountable, end the practice of illegal coordination, and ensure complete fairness in the weeks ahead.Constantine campaign spokesperson Sandeep Kaushik insists Bennett has never attended a campaign meeting. “Literally, not once,” he says by phone. Kaushik says he is confident the PDC will find no evidence of wrong-doing. But even if Constantine is cleared, the connection certainly won’t help him with Eastside moderates who are wary of his far-left reputation.
