I was recently made aware of some footage of Stafford County Supervisor Paul Milde (R-Aquia) at a 2009 fundraiser at Hope Springs Marina in Stafford, VA. In the video, Milde spent quite a bit of time thanking everyone for their help in planning this fundraiser.
Of particular note, Milde thanks Jimmy Franklin for the food and accommodations that he provided for this fundraiser. Jimmy owns the Hope Springs Marina. He also thanked Skip and Cindi Causey for their donation of wine. Skip and Cindi own the Potomac Point Vineyard and Winery, also in Stafford County. Lastly, he thanked a person by the name of John for DJ Services that he provided and even suggests that attendees at his fundraiser grab one of his cards.
So how did Milde potentially break the law? Ive poured through his Campaign Finance Reports from 2009 and was unable to find any in-kind contributions for the marina, food, wine or DJ services. Surely, based on the size of the crowd, each of these donations were above $100.
