Gordon Smith’s campaign has made payments to the company responsible for robocalls in several swing states that attack Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Merkley calls on Smith to return Stevens’ money

By Britten Chase, PolitickerOR.com Reporter

House Speaker and U.S. Senate candidate Jeff Merkley (D-Portland) called on Sen. Gordon Smith (R-Pendleton) to return the $39,000 in campaign donations that he has received during his political career from Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), who was charged with bribery on Tuesday.

"Ted Stevens has been indicted on very serious ethical charges,” Merkley said. “These charges cast an ethical cloud on money he raised from oil companies and others, some of which he passed on to Gordon Smith."
