FEC calls out Ted Cruz campaign three times for exceeding donation limits

WASHINGTON — Sen. Ted Cruz’s Senate campaign committee has received three letters from the Federal Election Commission this election cycle for accepting campaign contributions that exceeded federal limits.

The FEC sent the “Ted Cruz for Senate” committee letters in September, April and June. The letters were first reported by the Houston Chronicle.

Cruz’s campaign has received the most notices of excessive contribution out of 32 Senate campaigns, according to an analysis by the Chronicle.

Brett Kappel works on FEC compliance cases as an attorney, and said it is rare for Senate campaigns to receive repeated notices of contribution limit violations. However, he said the letters to Cruz’s committee have been from the FEC’s reporting analysis division, not its enforcement division.

From corrupt lying Ted. He's also voted to destroy health care and Social Security in order to give his and trumps wealthiest people in this country huge tax windfalls and lying saying it would help the middle class and poor, when it didn't , and he knew it wouldn't, so this campaign corruption is no surprise from corrupt lying Ted Cruz. He'll vote with putin and trump over and over again protecting him while he undermines our Democracy. Vote this liar out of office in Nov. , or have another pro russian putin hugging traitor in our Congress. We need someone that CAN be trusted, not a liar like Ted Cruz.
