Summary
U.S. Senate candidate Dan Osborn is restructuring his campaign after a complaint was filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) alleging that he improperly steered funds to his relatives, including his wife. Osborn’s wife will step away from her roles with two consulting firms and join his campaign as its full-time operations manager. The complaint alleges that Osborn’s campaign and two political action committees engaged in an illegal scheme to pay nearly half-a-dozen of his relatives. Osborn has denied any wrongdoing, stating that his wife has been instrumental in his campaign and that payments have been in line with fair-market value rates.
