LuAnn Bennett accepts shady donations connected to campaign advisor Jim Moran

February 2, 2016

jim luannNow that ex-Congressman Jim Moran is serving as an advisor to his ex-wife LuAnn Bennett’s VA-10 campaign, it appears he is giving her tips on where to find shady donors.  According to Bennett’s FEC report, Terry Lierman recently donated $1,000 to Bennett’s campaign.  If Lierman’s name sounds familiar, it’s because he’s the drug lobbyist who gave Moran an undisclosed personal loan to the tune of $25,000 at the same time Moran co-sponsored legislation supported by Lierman.

Pay to play at its finest.  So what are Bennett and Moran offering Lierman this time around for once again offering his monetary support?

NRCC Comment: “It’s unfortunate that LuAnn Bennett would accept donations from a lobbyist who gave her campaign advisor Jim Moran an unethical and undisclosed $25,000 personal loan in exchange for legislative favors.  What are Bennett and Moran promising this donor this time around in exchange for monetary support?” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
