Middletown Republicans Request Investigation Into Financing of Short Campaign Committee

Short Fails To Report More Than $10,000 In Contributions
and Is Hiding Thousands of Dollars of Expenditures

(Middletown) -- Middletown Republican Chairman Peter J. Carton has formally requested an investigation into more than $10,000 in contributions that Democrat Township Committee Candidate Patrick Short has failed to report with the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission (“ELEC�). A copy of the request for an investigation filed with ELEC today is attached.

“The Middletown Democrat Executive Committee has directly contributed at least $10,175 for Patrick Short’s campaign between May 3, 2006 and June 16, 2006 and Patrick Short has not reported a single cent of such contributions,� said Carton. “Despite signing a sworn statement filed with State officials that he was not going to spend more than $3,500, Mr. Short has seen fit to conceal special interest contributions being filtered through the Middletown Democrat Executive Committee.�

“Mr. Short is not only concealing contributions he has received, but his refusal to file the proper paperwork with the State is also obviously intended to prevent disclosure of funds expended by his campaign for newspaper advertisements and yard signs that have already been displayed in violation of local ordinances,� concluded Carton. “Mr. Short should refund these contributions immediately and disclose any other contributions received or expenditures made by his campaign that have been hidden from public disclosure in violation of law.�

If ELEC fails to investigate these violations within a reasonable time before this fall’s election, the Middletown Republican Executive Committee will seek a court order enjoining Mr. Short from spending the $10,000+ his candidate’s committee has received until such contributions and expenditures are properly disclosed pursuant to law.
