BREAKING: Lying Rebecca Bennett Faces Complaint for Allegedly Violating Federal Law
A complaint was just filed against lying Democrat Rebecca Bennett for allegedly illegally coordinating with a super PAC.
Bennett, who claims she doesn’t take corporate PAC money, partnered with a super PAC (which accepts unlimited campaign contributions) to buy over $1 million in television advertising for Bennett, a move the complaint argues violates federal law.
“Lying millionaire Rebecca Bennett says she doesn’t take corporate PAC money, but this complaint makes it clear her campaign is buoyed by just that, and she’s allegedly breaking federal law while doing so. Bennett keeps making it clear to voters that she cannot be trusted.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole

Can a congressional candidate promise to get money out of politics while maintaining a joint checking account with a super PAC that accepts unlimited corporate contributions?
Rebecca Bennett thinks she can, but now she faces a Federal Election Commission complaint alleging that her campaign violated federal election law by using a joint fundraising committee (JFC) with a Democratic super PAC to finance more than $1 million in television advertising supporting her bid to unseat Rep. Tom Kean, Jr. (R-Westfield) in New Jersey’s 7th district.
The complaint, signed by New Jersey Republican State Committee Executive Director Luke Ferrante, alleges that Bennett’s campaign and House Majority PAC exceeded federal guidelines governing joint fundraising committees by using their partnership, the Bennett House Victory Fund, to purchase campaign advertising.
[…]
“The Bennett JFC is clearly exceeding the scope of a Team Graham Advisory Opinion and the intent of the Commission by funding broadcast advertisements in support of Ms. Bennett’s candidacy,” Ferrante wrote. “Broadcast advertising extends well beyond the event-related fundraising activities the Commission blessed in the Team Graham Advisory Opinion.”
[…]
The complaint also questions whether Bennett’s campaign and House Majority PAC properly allocated advertising expenses, arguing that any excessive payment by the super PAC could constitute an illegal in-kind contribution.
Bennett sidestepped questions about the arrangement during a Friday appearance with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, repeatedly insisting she does not accept corporate PAC contributions without directly addressing the legality of the television advertising.
[…]
Pressed on whether partnering with a super PAC that accepts corporate contributions undermined her pledge to reject corporate PAC money, Bennett replied, “I’m not taking a single dollar of corporate PAC money.”
The distinction matters: House Majority PAC can accept unlimited corporate contributions, while Bennett’s campaign cannot accept corporate treasury funds directly. The Republican complaint does not allege that Bennett personally accepted corporate PAC contributions, but instead challenges whether the joint committee’s advertising effectively circumvented federal restrictions on campaign coordination.
[…]
The Campaign Legal Center (CLC), a nonpartisan campaign finance watchdog, formally opposed the FEC’s 2024 Team Graham advisory opinion, warning that allowing candidates and super PACs to participate in joint fundraising committees could undermine federal restrictions on coordinated campaign spending.
“Candidates, political parties, and super PACs creating a JFC and working together to plan public communications is the precise opposite of the independence that federal courts require as a predicate to the very existence of super PACs,” the organization told the FEC.
The Republican complaint now asks federal regulators to determine whether Bennett’s joint fundraising arrangement crossed that line.
“The FEC should therefore investigate the full extent of Rebecca Bennett’s violations of the Act,” Ferrante stated.
