A Washington D.C.-based good government group filed a complaint today
with the Federal Election Commission alleging Congressman Marsha
Blackburn's campaign and her treasurer violated federal campaign
finance law.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) said
Blackburn (R-Brentwood) violated campaign finance law by failing to
report more than $100,000 in contributions and about $286,000 in
spending dating back to 2002.

"Given the Blackburn campaign committee's longstanding pattern of
filing inaccurate FEC reports and the large amounts of money involved,
the FEC should step in, investigate the committee and sanction it
appropriately," said Melanie Sloan, CREW's executive director, in a
statement.

In response to the complaint, the Blackburn campaign issued a written
statement, which said: "Rep. Blackburn, in holding her campaign to a
strict ethical standard, self-initiated a reconciliation. The
reconciliation confirmed that all funds were properly raised and
properly spent. She is confident that FEC review of those records will
agree with this assessment. In regards to the merit-less complaint
filed by the liberal partisan group CREW, Rep. Blackburn is not
surprised and unimpressed. This is an election year and conservative
women are prime targets for Democrat attack."
