This report is certain to raise concerns (again) about OCF conducts its work. The allegations/conclusions aside, the report is in parts poorly written and has weird typos/notes-to-self. The timing is also interesting: Why dump this on Friday night four days before the election?
People for a United D.C., a pro-McDuffie independent expenditure group that has gotten most of its funding from parent org that doesn’t disclose donors, is texting voters about OCF fining @janeese4dc.bsky.social for coordinating with unions. “Voters should be aware… before casting ballots.”

NEWS: The D.C. Office of Campaign Finance is fining @janeese4dc.bsky.social's campaign $16,000 for having "violated multiple provisions of District campaign finance law and the Fair Elections Program."
OCF is also fining the union-backed Safe & Affordable D.C. PAC $4,000.
“I think the public should have gotten this information a lot earlier, because ultimately, this election is about trust,” McDuffie said to me. “D.C. residents deserve a mayor who's gonna be honest with them.”
