On Monday, the Arizona Republic reported that John Shadegg engaged in some shady self-dealing last year.
According to the Republic, someone on Shadegg’s campaign knowingly accepted contributions in excess of the maximum allowable by federal law by shifting $10,000 from a PAC bank account into the campaign’s account. The donors who supplied the $10,000 for the PAC to transfer had already maxed out to the campaign! You can read more here:
http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0124shadegg0124.html Two days after the story broke and hours after an official FEC complaint was filed, Shadegg sent the money back to his PAC, but he did not return it to the original donors. A week from now, he could take the $10,000 right back and never skip a beat. We need your help to hold him accountable for this shady self-dealing. Can you make a contribution today to show him the right way to do fundraising?

This is perfect example of John Shadegg’s disrespect for the laws of this country and the people of Arizona. This shady behavior is exactly why voters are so angry with business as usual in Washington.
We will continue to watch this developing story closely and keep you up to date as developments occur. In the meantime, help me show Arizona and the rest of the country what we can accomplish - the legal way! Let’s show Shadegg how true grassroots fundraising works by matching their “dirty” $10,000 with “clean” contributions from our online community.
Contribute now!
As this news breaks nationally (

Keep up the fight!
Thank You,

PS – This news brings to light the true corruption that exists in the Arizona Republican delegation. With Renzi resigning, does this mean Shadegg is eager to be the face of Republican corruption? We must win this seat for our Party, for our state! Contribute Now!
