"Candice Miller for Congress" failed to provide appropriate donor records for near-anonymous casino related contributions

March 11, 2003 was the second biggest fundraising day of Rep. Candice Miller's first term in the House of Representatives.

On March 11, 2003 -- less than one month after freshman Rep. Candice Miller introduced a bill (H.R. 831) in the House of Representatives (she was backed by veteran Alaska Rep. Don Young) intended to win approval for a Bay Mills Indian Community off-reservation casino proposal in Port Huron, Michigan -- backers of the Bay Mills casino plan and their associates helped contribute $38,800 to Rep. Miller's campaign fund (30 contributions in all).

Among the contributors: casino syndicator Michael J. Malik, Sr. and his alleged mistress Heather Lufkins; Marian Ilitch, Mike Ilitch, Christopher Ilitch; various attorneys from Ilitch/Malik law firms like Dykema Gossett and Miller Canfield; political consultants and lobbyists; plus insurance brokers, property managers and others involved with various Ilitch/Malik businesses and casino operations (Complete List).

And these three odd contributions that have little or no back-up provided to the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) but which nevertheless were deposited in the "Candice Miller for Congress" bank account.

Rep. Miller, a former Michigan Secretary of State knows better than to deposit funds from near anonymous donors. These three donors have no history of giving to federal political committees before or after these 3/11/03 recorded contributions to Rep. Miller.

Rep. Miller's committees (Primarily CANDICE PAC) received more than $74,000 from the Ilitch Family and Michael Malik between 2003 and 2005.
