We dispute the complaint that we “double dipped” and owe Ms. [redacted] and the campaign
she worked for $3,719.67. Here are the facts:
1. We never received a $3,500.00 payment from the state party and, in fact, we
discounted an invoice to the campaign by $3,500.00 to account for the state...
party’s
donation to them. So we didn’t even “single dip” with this amount.
2. The campaign was billed $10,916.27 for four direct mail pieces - $3,116.46 on
10/7/15, $3,116.46 on 10/21/15, and $4,683.35 on 10/27/15.
3. The campaign paid The Englehart Group $7,416.37 against these bills, leaving a
balance owed for printing and mailing of the direct mail pieces of $3,499.90. These
payments were $3,116.51 on 10/20/15, $3,116.51 on 10/22/15, and $1,183.35 on
10/28/15.
4. The [redacted] agreed to donate $3,500.00 to the campaign.
5. The [redacted] paid its $3,500.00 campaign donation directly to
the printer that printed and mailed the direct mail pieces to cover the amounts explained
above. The donation was never handled by The Englehart Group. We never handled
that money. This was confirmed in e-mails between The Englehart Group and
the state party on 11/16/15 and 11/17/15.
6. All of this was communicated clearly and succinctly to [redacted] in two e-mails,
dated 12/23/15 and 12/31/15.
7. We are not sure where the other $219.67 of this complaint comes from. We were only
aware of the dispute over the $3,500.00 donation, which was never handled by The
Englehart Group.
We would additionally point out that The Englehart Group paid three bills out of pocket
on behalf of the campaign:
Consultation with [redacted] $400.00
Reprint of Palmcards $108.60
Video Editing $306.00
We are not requesting reimbursement for these costs and paid these for the campaign
as a goodwill gesture.
Because there was no overpayment as was claimed in the complaint, we do not owe
[redacted] or the campaign reimbursement. The complaint is invalid because the
actions we are accused of never took place.
Please let us know if you have any questions and when this issue is resolved.
Thank you so much.
Best Regards,
Ray [redacted], Vice President
