A major donor to Jeff Landry’s gubernatorial campaign is asking for his $100,000 donation to be returned. Political Analyst Bernie Pinsonat said it appears donor John Odom has a beef with Landry hiring a former Trump campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski.
“You can request the money back that you gave to a candidate but the likelihood of you getting it back to you is literally slim and none,” said Pinsonat.
Pinsonat said usually once the check clears, it’s already spent and it’s highly unlikely your donation will be returned. But there have been cases where donations are sent back, especially if the donor is a distraction to the campaign.
“If the money was given to the candidate and he didn’t know the person that gave it to him had criminal charges in his background, convictions, or was a deadbeat dad, or any of those things then the candidate can give it back to him,” said Pinsonat.
Odom has stated that Lewandowski is unfit to serve in any campaign and he’s urged Landry to reconsider the hire. And as we get closer to the election Pinsonat said stories like this might become more prevalent.
“But this one was pretty complicated, and very surprised anybody could read that come up with a conclusion,” said Pinsonat.
Early voting begins this Saturday for the October 14th primary.
