Under Delaware law, state employees are prohibited from engaging in any political activity during work hours.
Forensic review finds improprieties in Delaware gubernatorial candidate's campaign financesLt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long's office staff was in regular communication last year with her husband and other people involved in her campaign for Delaware governor and worked during office hours to help facilitate the use of campaign funds, according to emails obtained by The Associated Press.
"Bethany asked that you please mail a $300 check to the address below for an upcoming community event," Dougherty wrote to Hall-Long's husband, Dana Long, during business hours on a Wednesday afternoon last August. Hall-Long's scheduler and officer coordinator, Nicole Algarin, was copied on the email.
Hall-Long's office staff, along with aides working for the state Behavioral Health Consortium that she chairs, also collaborated to ensure her appearance last October in the annual Sea Witch Costume Parade in Rehoboth Beach. Algarin then sent an email during business hours to Brandon Cox, Hall-Long's campaign manager at the time, with the parade information.
Dougherty told Long in an email that he would be happy to book a San Antonio luxury hotel using "BHL's credit card," but Long replied that he had not yet decided at which hotel "we are going stay."
