Investigators found that from January 2016 to December 2023, Dana Long wrote 112 checks from the campaign committee account to himself or cash, and one to his wife.
A forensic review commissioned by the state Department of Elections has uncovered significant improprieties in the campaign finances of Delaware's lieutenant governor, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor.
"Why he publicly reported these five expenditures as made to a payee other than the true payee remains unexplained," Lampinski wrote in a report obtained Thursday by The Associated Press in response to a FOIA request. "When I pointed out she had written 'create' receipts, and not 'gather' or 'collect' receipts, Long said he couldn't 'answer for her terminology,'" Lampinski wrote.
Hall-Long has been under intense scrutiny since September, when she abruptly announced the postponement of a campaign event with Democratic Gov. John Carney that was to be held the next day, saying she needed to "attend to a personal, private matter." It's unclear when Hall-Long was made aware of Lampinski's investigation, but Elections Commissioner Anthony Albence notified her in a July 15 email that the report had been completed.
"I understand counsel for Mr Long will be reaching out to you separately," Hall-Long wrote. "The report and the interview notes from Dana's interview contains errors and omits material representations made by Dana and the attorneys present during the interview."
