Page Cleared Of Election Complaint

MUR 6099

RESPONDENTS:Page for Missouri and Barbara Hoffman, in her official capacity as treasurer; Waverley Glen Systems Ltd.; and Sam Page

COMPLAINANT:Todd P. Graves

SUBJECT:The complaint alleged that Page, a member of the Missouri House of Representatives who was running for the state’s Lieutenant Governorship, violated the Act by knowingly and willfully accepting a campaign contribution from a foreign company.

OUTCOME:The Commission found no reason to believe Page for Missouri, Hoffman, Waverley Glen Systems Ltd. or Page violated the Act because the contribution apparently was made by a domestic subsidiary of the foreign corporation, the contribution was not derived from the foreign corporation’s funds, and no foreign national had any decision-making authority concerning the making of the contribution.
