RE: MUR 8082 

Dear Ms. Dupree: 

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) received a complaint that indicates you may 

have violated the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (the “Act”). A copy of 

the complaint is enclosed. We have numbered this matter MUR 8082. Please refer to this 

number in all future correspondence. 

The Act affords you the opportunity to demonstrate in writing that no action should be 

taken against you in this matter. If you wish to file a response, you may submit any factual or 

legal materials that you believe are relevant to the Commission’s consideration of this matter. 

Where appropriate, statements should be submitted under oath by persons with relevant 

knowledge. Your response, which should be addressed to the General Counsel’s Office, must be 

submitted within 15 days of receipt of this letter. If no response is received within 15 days, the 

Commission may take further action based on the available information. 

This matter will remain confidential in accordance with 52 U.S.C. § 30109(a)(4)(B) and 

§ 30109(a)(12)(A) unless you notify the Commission in writing that you wish the matter to be 

made public. Please be advised that, although the Commission cannot disclose information 

regarding an investigation to the public, it may share information on a confidential basis with 

other law enforcement agencies.1

If you intend to be represented by counsel in this matter, please advise the Commission 

by completing the enclosed form stating the name, address and telephone number of such 

counsel, and authorizing such counsel to receive any notifications and other communications 

from the Commission. Please note that you have a legal obligation to preserve all documents,

 The Commission has the statutory authority to refer knowing and willful violations of the Act to the 

Department of Justice for potential criminal prosecution, 52 U.S.C. § 30109(a)(5)(C), and to report information
