Mercy, there’s just politics on every side of this one. You can learn more about North Carolina Republican A.G. nominee Bob Crumley right here. From News-Record:
Bob Crumley has taken his name and images out of ads for his law firm after rulings by election officials that those commercials could constitute illegal contributions to his campaign for state attorney general.
The Republican is trying to unseat Democrat Roy Cooper in November. He contended his ads didn’t violate campaign finance laws but decided to comply with the election official’s requests to avoid a costly and time-consuming showdown less than two months before an election.
“I have bigger fish to fry right now,” Crumley said, adding, “I think the position the (state) board of elections is taking is designed to affect a particular candidate and that candidate is me.”
