Fedorchak Campaign Files Complaints With FEC And FCC

BISMARCK, N.D. (KVRR/KFGO/NORTH DAKOTA MONITOR) — Julie Fedorchak’s campaign has filed complaints with two federal agencies over video and text messages sent last week that falsely stated she had dropped out of the U.S. House race.

Complaints were filed with the Federal Election Commission and Federal Communications Commission asking the agencies to investigate.

The campaign’s attorney says the complaint to the F-E-C alleges election interference and the complaint to the F-C-C alleges the “use of texts in a fraudulent manner.”

During a press conference on election day, Fedorchak called the messages a desperate tactic to influence and discourage voters.

She won the primary with around 46 percent of the vote in a five-person GOP race.

Fedorchak has held a seat on the North Dakota Public Service Commission since 2013.
