Delaware Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long marches in Rehoboth Beach’s 33rd annual Sea Witch Festival Costume Parade, Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023, in Rehoboth Beach, Del. DOVER, Del. — State election officials in Delaware communicated directly with one or more aides in Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long’s office last year amid a scandal involving her campaign finance reports, according to emails obtained by The Associated Press.
On Oct. 23, the AP emailed election officials with questions about apparent errors in amended filings by Hall-Long. Citing technical issues, officials sent a follow-up response the next day — while also alerting a top aide in Hall-Long’s office.Emails show Delaware lieutenant governor’s staff engaged in campaign matters during business hours“FYI,” Albence wrote in an email to Andrew Volturo, strategic advisor for policy and special projects in the lieutenant governor’s office.
In November, Jackson informed Albence that Hall-Long and her new campaign treasurer had been advised that they should meet with Albence “to lay things out to you directly.” The AP filed a petition with Jennings’ office challenging that assertion, given the records of communications with Volturo it had already obtained. Despite having been copied on those emails, Broujos maintained that the department had no responsive records regarding communications with Hall-Long’s office.
Meanwhile, Albence assured Hall-Long last month that he would not seek criminal charges in the wake of the forensic audit he commissioned. The audit found that Hall-Long and her husband, Dana Long, had received payments totaling $33,000 more than what she purportedly loaned her campaign.
