(VINELAND, October 25) – First District Senator Nick Asselta and his Assembly running mates Norris Clark and Mike Donohue today called on New Jersey Attorney General Anne Milgram immediately to investigate a series of suspect campaign finance transactions funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Camden County Democratic Committee through the Cape May County Democratic Committee to the election fund of Democrats Jeff Van Drew and Nelson Albano in clear violation of several New Jersey campaign finance laws.

Anne Milgram is going to be busy in the first district.

Just before state Senator Nicholas Asselta and his Assembly running mates were scheduled to hold a press conference asking the Attorney General to investigate Democratic wheeling of campaign funds in the first district in 2005, Assembly Speaker Pro-Tempore Wilfredo Caraballo called on Milgram to investigate whether first district Republicans transferred money between their own campaign accounts to circumvent contribution limits.

The Republicans seized on a Tuesday investigative report from the Press of Atlantic City that showed the Camden County Democratic Committee circumventing campaign contribution caps two years ago by donating $400,000 to the Cape May Democratic Organization, which then went directly to an ad blitz in the Philadelphia television market on behalf of the Assembly campaigns of Jeff Van Drew and Nelson Albano.
