Golf outings by Boehner’s PAC get POLITICO attention
Golf outings sponsored by U.S. House Minority Leader John Boehner’s political action committee, the Freedom Project, have drawn attention from POLITICO, a Web site that provides political coverage.
“Boehner PAC splurges on golf” blared the headline on Tuesday, Nov. 24. The story said that the PAC has spent $82,998 on golf outings so far this year, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
Don Seymour, PAC spokesman, said in an e-mail that the events are all part of Boehner’s efforts to help Republican candidates. The money for the golf outings includes all the overhead costs associated with putting on the fundraisers, Seymour said.
“The Freedom Project has contributed more than $320,000 directly to GOP candidates and the party so far this cycle.” Seymour said.
“In the 2008 cycle we contributed more than $1.24 million directly — more than any other Republican in the House. Boehner has headlined 119 events so far in 2009, and through all of his political efforts this year has raised more than $12 million for GOP candidates and the party.”
