The vice chairman of the Glynn County Republican Party has filed a state ethics complaint against Glynn County Commissioner-elect Mark Stambaugh, his brother and business partner Scott Stambaugh and outgoing Commissioner Mary Hunt for what he says are violations of the state’s campaign contribution laws.
Jeff Kilgore, 1st vice chairman of the Glynn County Republican Party, filed the complaint last week with the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission alleging that the Stambaughs’ three separate contributions of the maximum of $2,500 to Hunt’s campaign through three different corporate holdings exceeded what is allowable by law because he contends the businesses are affiliated.
Mark Stambaugh disputes that.“I disagree with his interpretation of common ownership,” Mark Stambaugh said.
Stambaugh said each of the three companies is owned by a different group. Stambaugh Aviation Management is owned by his brother Scott Stambaugh and his wife Audrey. Mark said he and his wife Emelia own EJC Investments, LLC and he and Scott own Aviation Sales and Maintenance, Inc.
“There are four people involved here, not just two,” Mark Stambaugh said.
