COLUMBUS (AP) -- Federal regulators are stumped on whether Ohio U.S. Senate candidate Jennifer Brunner may use $15,000 worth of equipment from her old state campaign.
Members of the bipartisan Federal Election Commission voted unanimously this week not to give an opinion on the matter.
Democratic commissioner Ellen Weintraub called the issue "convoluted," and Republican Donald McGahn said the facts were unclear and a "moving target."
Brunner's Senate campaign had asked if it could donate $15,000 to charity and keep the office equipment and other supplies from her winning Ohio secretary of state campaign. Federal rules prohibit a candidate from directly using state campaign assets to finance federal races.
Brunner says she's now considering her options.
