Shuler hunting fundraisers
We have a couple of hunting fundraisers on file for Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.), who is reportedly the lawmaker seeking to exempt the National Rifle Association (NRA) from the DISCLOSE Act to require more disclosure of campaign finance advertisements.
Both are at the Wynfield plantation in Georgia. One, on December 13, 2009, asked donors for $2,500 to participate. The other, was a weekend long quail hunting trip in March 2009.
Shuler has gotten $3,500 directly from the NRA’s PAC this election cycle.
