Conservative donors are swooping in to support embattled Arizona Republican Rep. David Schweikert, whose campaign account was in the red at the end of the last reporting period.
The Club for Growth, a conservative anti-tax group in Washington, D.C., has funneled roughly $84,000 in earmarked contributions this year to the five-term lawmaker, according to the most recent campaign finance reports released in October. The group allows donors to give to candidates’ campaigns through its website.
Schweikert is under investigation for allegedly misusing congressional office funds, pressuring congressional staff to perform political activities, failing to properly disclose campaign finance information and other violations of House rules.
He has said he expects to be cleared of wrongdoing.
