A group of House Democrats shared a public letter on Oct. 16 condemning Low for using state campaign funds to boost his federal election. This comes after Defend The Vote, a voting advocacy group, filed a complaint to the FEC to investigate Low’s campaign expenditures.

All Democrats signed on to the letter have endorsed Liccardo’s campaign. Lam Nguyen, Low’s deputy campaign manager, accused Liccardo’s team of planting this as a distraction.
“This is a desperate stunt,” Nguyen said in a statement to the Peninsula Press. “Every TV station’s lawyers have rejected these same claims. This is just last minute desperation from a candidate who broke every rule in the recount and has been called a liar by San Jose police and firefighters.”
Liccardo said his opponent is clearly engaged in an “illegal effort.”
“It’s three weeks before the election, everybody knows what’s going on right?” he said. “The FEC will weigh in, but unfortunately that’ll be after November 5th.”
