One Wisconsin Now files complaint over Paul Ryan television ads
Source: WITI-TV
MADISON — “One Wisconsin Now”
has filed a complaint with the
Federal Election Commission
alleging Paul Ryan is improperly
using Congressional campaign funds
to boost the Republican presidential
ticket.
In a statement, “One Wisconsin
Now” says Ryan is pouring at least
$2 million into television ads, in
which the candidate never mentions
he is running for Congress, in the
two largest media markets in the
state.
“Wisconsin is widely considered to
be a key swing state in the
presidential election, and many
pundits and political observers
viewed the selection of Ryan as an
attempt to boost the GOP campaign
here. I don’t think they had in mind
Ryan would possibly violate federal
campaign finance laws to do it. It’s
perfectly legal for Ryan to run for
Congress and Vice-President at the
same time. But he crosses a legal
line if, as it appears with his
television ads, he uses
congressional campaign funds to
promote his run on the GOP
presidential ticket,” “One Wisconsin
Now” Executive Director Scot Ross
said in a statement.

So, that's how he's running for both VP and his House seat, which is actually somewhat competitive this year.
