The Republican Party of Kentucky has filed a complaint against Democratic agriculture commissioner candidate Jean Marie Lawson Spann alleging the candidate’s radio program and corporate sponsorship constitutes a non-reported campaign donation.
The eight page complaint filed with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance states that Jean Marie Lawson Spann and her father Sam Lawson have been illegally using Lawson Marketing, Inc. and its resources to help the campaign.

The complaint filed with the Registry of Election Finance on Thursday morning provides transcripts from the ‘Jean Marie Ag Show,’ a weekly radio show broadcast in Glasgow and Bowling Green, from this summer featuring Sam Lawson detailing Jean Marie’s activities on the campaign trail in her bid for the office of Commissioner of Agriculture.

One example listed in the complaint features a section from the Sept. 21 episode of the radio program where Sam Lawson details his daughter’s week on the campaign trail visiting organized labor, senior citizens and Constitution Day.
Lawson Spann responds to the verbal campaign road map with an “ag-mazing fact” and promise to voters.
“Yes dad, thanks so much. And now for the Jean-Marie ag-mazing fact of the day. Are you ready? This week is farm safety week. I have pledged to grow the Kentucky Department of Agriculture safety department under Dale Dopson to reduce accidents and save lives in a very unsafe occupation, farming. Join us as we celebrate farm safety week. Look forward each week to the ag-mazing,” according to the transcript sent to KREF.
Another example in the complaint features remarks from the Aug. 3 show, when Sam Lawson details a meet-and-greet in Graves County saying “they all pledged their support for your campaign.”

I plan on voting for Quarles, because I definitely don’t trust Jean Too-Many-Names. But it’s kind of sad that she came out in favor of medical marijuana, and Quarles is against it. And she came out for labeling of GMO foods, and Quarles is against it.
