(Hudson Valley 360) Republican U.S. Rep. Marc Molinaro has been named in a complaint alleging the 19th District congressman violated election campaign law by making two transfers of $1,000 each from his State Campaign Committee to his Federal Campaign Committee in 2021 and 2022. The Federal Election Campaign Act prohibits federal candidates from transferring funds or assets from their state committees to their federal committees. The Commission considers direct contributions from a federal candidate’s state committee to his federal committee to be a transfer of funds, according to the complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission on April 11 by the group End Citizens United.
