Walker’s campaign goes to war against ‘scam’ PAC

ATLANTA — A few weeks ago, Herschel Walker’s campaign sent a cease-and-desist letter targeting a newly formed political action committee it accused of “impermissibly” using the former football star’s name, image and likeness to raise cash.

This week, the Republican Senate hopeful’s campaign stepped up its criticism of the Run Herschel Run PAC by urging law enforcement authorities to investigate the organization. Walker campaign manager Scott Paradise said officials are also exploring other legal avenues to “stop them from misleading anyone else.”

“We won’t tolerate people who seek to take advantage of donors and will call out bad behavior wherever it exists, whether it’s ridiculous fundraising splits for candidates not running or scam PACs like Run Herschel Run,” said Paradise.
