The Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board has approved an investigation into the violation of campaign laws involving Cerro Gordo County Auditor Adam Wedmore after he used a county-owned postage meter for political purposes.
Wedmore, of Rockwell, admits using a postage machine in late January to stamp 1-thousand pieces of campaign mail. In early February, Wedmore provided a $650 check from his election account to the auditor’s office finance director with a note stating it was for the postage cost, replacement of ink used in the postage machine, as well as any electricity used for the operation of the machine.
The Cerro Gordo County Board of Supervisors, also in March, formally approved an agreement with the State Auditor’s office to conduct an investigation as well.
