Dept. of Elections report finds Lt. Gov. Hall-Long's state campaign finance reports violated law

A Delaware Department of Elections report asserts Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long has broken several state campaign finance laws since 2016.

The report - produced by former Philadelphia FBI chief Jeffrey Lampinski - found multiple discrepancies in an independent audit reported by the campaign last year.

As first reported by AP and WHYY, the report concludes that even after being amended in December, campaign reports for 2016 through 2023 still have not disclosed $91,000 in payments to Dana Long, who had been his wife’s campaign treasurer and wrote 112 checks to himself, and one to his wife, all of which should have been reported as campaign expenditures. But 109 of those checks were never reported in initial finance reports, and the other four, payable to Dana Long, were reported as being made to someone else.
