Matt Jones, the liberal host of a popular sports radio show in Kentucky, was off the air Thursday following a complaint by the Kentucky Republican Party that he had violated campaign finance laws.
The complaint, which was filed this week, alleges that Jones, a Democrat who is mulling a Senate run against Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), has been receiving corporate campaign contributions from his media gigs; namely, from iHeartRadio, the distributor of the radio show, and publisher Simon & Schuster, which is scheduled to publish a book by Jones that is critical of McConnell.
Jones filed paperwork for his exploratory committee with the Federal Election Commission this year and subsequently filed disbursement reports. The complaint, filed by Republican Party of Kentucky Chairman J. McCauley Brown, argues that Jones is using the radio show as a platform to promote his candidacy and that funding and spending for his travel around the state for the book should be reported as campaign finances.
