Bartlett campaign facing debt disclosure violation under federal election law
Bartlett campaign failed to disclose a $1,300 debt to Corporate Intelligence Researchers of Fairfax, who investigated Neil Dhillon, a Democratic challenger. The firm’s results were provided before the 1994 primary, but the debt was listed only in mid 1995 after the election. FEC rules require disclosure when service is received, not when billed. Joe Bartlett downplays the issue, noting minor campaign lapses are common.
