No, not as a State Auditor committed to being your fiscal watchdog. As a candidate. As in contributions. From her profoundly depressing kickoff announcement:
Individual Contributions are limited to $1,200 per person and LLC, per election.
Does this mean that each one of, say, Bryon Short’s, or Michael Cohen’s, Delaware-based LLC’s could contribute up to $1200 per election? Of which there are two–a primary and a general? Does this mean that laundered Russian money could end up in her campaign coffers? Hey, they’re LLC’s, I don’t see why not.
