The campaign of Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., took funds from the DCI Group, a lobbying group criticized for its dealings with the oppressive military regime of Myanmar, Federal Elections Commission records show. The Coleman campaign took $6,000 from DCI Group senior leadership and partners and its political action committee.
Sen. John McCain’s campaign took a hit over the weekend when his appointed manager to the Republican National Convention, Doug Goodyear, resigned when Newsweek reported that Goodyear’s lobbying firm, the DCI Group, did $348,000 worth of business with the regime of Myanmar. A day later, Doug Davenport, a regional manager for McCain, resigned when his employment with DCI Group was revealed.
Convention organizers are still looking for a replacement for Goodyear.
According to FEC records, Coleman took $1,000 from Goodyear himself; $1,000 from Angela Flood, DCI Group vice-president; and $2,000 from Justin Peterson, a DCI Group managing partner. Coleman’s campaign received another $2,000 from the DCI Group Political Action Committee.
