Republican In-Fighting in the 10th District

In the run-up to the August 17th run-off in the 10th Congressional District between former Catawba County Sheriff David Huffman and state Rep. Patrick McHenry, all three Republican candidates who ran against Huffman in the July 20th primary have signed a complaint to the Federal Elections Commission alleging that Huffman failed to properly disclose the source of more than $266,000 collected during the primary campaign.

The race is to succeed Rep. Cass Ballenger.

"These funds received by Huffman in the form of uncollateralized, undocumented, no interest, no due date and still-secret loans constitute unlawful and excessive political contributions," said the complaint filed by The Williams Law Firm in Hickory and signed by the other candidates including McHenry.

This causes us to recall that Virginia Foxx was the subject of a complaint to the FEC (wasn't it?) about her commingling of funds from her state senate campaign committee and her U.S. House race. Whatever happened with that?
