A political watchdog group today will unveil what it says is a $100,000 TV and radio campaign "regarding Repuplican Bob Schaffer's junket to the Northern Mariana Islands" in 1999.
Campaign Money Watch, which bills itself as a nonpartisan watchdog group that holds candidates accountable for the favors they do for political contributors, will discuss their ads this morning.
According to a release, the ads urge Schaffer to support legislation to clean up politics as well as the bill now on President George W. Bush's desk to address worker abuse in the islands.
The group's executive director, David Donnelly, penned an opinion piece [1] on the topic last month in the Post.
