ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren has been indicted on felony charges relating to her fundraising, Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley announced on Friday.
The indictments stem from Warren’s fundraising activity while seeking a second term in 2017.
Donations to the mayor’s regular campaign were capped at less than $9,000. She also had a leadership PAC subject to much looser fundraising rules, but which was prohibited from directly helping her reelection efforts. Several complaints at the time alleged that this entity was in fact dedicated solely to aiding her candidacy.
