Voinovich handing back the campaign cash

By Jessica Wehrman | Monday, April 20, 2009, 01:53 PM

Sen. George Voinovich, who is retiring at the end of his term, is returning campaign contributions to those who gave before he decided to retire.

Voinovich, R-Ohio, is complying with Federal Elections Commission guidelines, which require retiring candidates to hand back donations for the general election. Garrette Silverman, a spokeswoman for Voinovich, said that sum comes to about $330,000 from individuals and $106,000 in political action committees. Any additional money in Voinovich’s campaign coffers, she said, will go to help other Republican candidates or the Republican party or be used for official business.
