Foley memo backfires, boosts donations to foe
Reprinted from the Stuart News
June 4, 2000

Rep. Mark Foley’s attempt to short-circuit his challenger’s campaign ended up contributing $5,000 to it.

Foley, the Republican who represents most of the Treasure Coast, sent a memo to Jean Elliott Brown’s out-of-town donors and 1,200 political action committees in Washington, quoting local newspaper articles on negative aspects of Brown’s campaign.

The intent of the memo, titled "Jean Elliott Brown Campaign Continues to Collapse," was to dry up her sources of money, Foley said. The result, however, was a quick infusion of $5,000 in donations to Brown from her irate donors.
