POLITICS ’88 : CAMPAIGN ’88 : Pro-Bush Effort Faulted
- Share via
A group in Washington calling itself “Americans for Bush” said Thursday it will spend $10 million in an effort to elect George Bush as the next President, including a series of television commercials.
But the Bush campaign says organizers of the effort have been asked to stop using Bush’s name in their fund raising.
“We feel that this committee has misrepresented itself,” spokeswoman Alixe Glen said. “They’re misrepresenting that their group is an authorized campaign committee, and they’re not.”
She said the Bush campaign was not opposed to independent efforts to help elect Bush, as long as those groups make it clear they are not part of the authorized campaign committee.
