The Federal Election Commission has dismissed two competing claims of campaign finance misconduct against Jimmy Matlock and Tim Burchett, both running for the Republican nomination for the 2nd Congressional District seat, Knoxnews reports. Knox County resident Lee Dunlap filed the complaint against Matlock, claiming that the campaign took two $500 contributions from corporations, which the campaign later refunded. Loudon County Commissioner Van Shaver filed the complaint against Burchett, making similar allegations. The Burchett campaign did not refund their donations because, as the FEC dismissal noted, they were not improper.
