(Hill) Dan McCready, the Democratic candidate in the hotly contested House race for North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District, refunded a donation from Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) campaign last month, Federal Election Commission filings show.
Omar’s campaign initially donated $2,000 to McCready’s campaign on Nov. 6. The total was refunded on March 30, filings show.
“Dan feels strongly that there is no place for divisiveness in our politics. Our campaign is focused on bringing people together. As such, Dan felt it was appropriate to return the donation from then-candidate Omar,” McCready campaign spokesman Aaron Simpson said in a statement to the Hill.
