Alek Skarlatos, a Republican nominee for Congress in Oregon, was cleared this week of violating campaign finance law, months after a Democratic-aligned group filed a complaint alleging he improperly funded his campaign with money from a nonprofit he also controlled.
“Democrats have created a false controversy to smear Alek Skarlatos," campaign manager Ross Purgason said in a statement. “The (Federal Election Commission) has dismissed these false allegations.”
