Senator Roraback’s Statement on Twardy Report Re: Donovan
The most important statement Stanley Twardy, Jr. made today about the scandal swirling around Chris Donovan’s campaign was, “There may be evidence out there that we don’t know of.” Whether subsequent legal proceedings in connection with the arrest of Donovan’s campaign finance director reveal that Donovan did or did not know of the alleged illegal activity, neither outcome will reflect well on Chris Donovan. If it is shown he knew of the activity, it makes him unfit as a candidate for Congress. If it is proven he had no knowledge of the alleged illegal activity, it calls into question the manner in which he is conducting his campaign and his abilities to give a kind of focused attention, which will be required to find solutions for the many complex challenges facing the 5th District and our nation.
