A New York Post investigation revealed that Sherrod Brown somehow accepted multiple campaign donations from a woman who had been dead for months, a potential violation of federal law that has been referred to the FEC for investigation.
The revelation comes as a new poll from Emerson College shows Brown running a margin-of-error race against political outsider Bernie Moreno.
“Sherrod Brown’s campaign must explain how these bizarre, illegal donations from a deceased woman were procured and conduct a full campaign audit to determine whether or not this is an isolated incident. This is a highly concerning incident that demands explanation.” — NRSC Spokesman Philip Letsou
