Candidates Unload Money From Foley(NRCC Will Keep Contributions)

[maddezmom]

(AP) Republicans in tight re-election contests were unloading contributions they received over the years from Mark Foley, the former congressman ensnared in an e-mail sex scandal.

But the National Republican Congressional Committee, which has received $550,000 from Foley since 1996, will keep its money, committee spokesman Carl Forti said.

"We will be using the money like every other contribution — to help elect Republicans across the country," Forti said.

In Buffalo, N.Y., the Republican chairman of the committee, Tom Reynolds, dismissed the notion that the committee give up or donate the $100,000 it received from Foley last summer. He spoke at a news conference in which he also defended himself against suggestions that he didn't act appropriately when he learned of Foley's contact with a Louisiana teenager.
