The complaint alleges illegal campaign coordination between Wall for Congress and Wisconsin Jobs Now! an SEIU front group. ^ Jamie Wall told Sth District press on Tuesday that Paula Zelhier left Wisconsin Jobs Now! on ^ March 4 and became his campaign manager on March S. He blamed computer and software O issues for messing up evidence and showing a several months-long overlap between Zellner's Ui work for Jobs Now! and her work for his campaign. Federal law prohibits third party groups ^ from coordinating with the political candidates they are attempting to help. O ''Wall's assertion that Zellner never worked for his campaign before March 5 appears tp *^ be patently false,'' said Brian Sikma of Media Trackers. Media Trackers has found that on February 29 Zellner was reimbursed $284 by the campaign. That means that Zellner was acting on behalf of the campaign ih some capacity prior to Wall's self-asserted start date of March S , ''Wall needs to be more transparent about this matter," Sikma said. ''There are nmny unanswered questions, and there is evidence that what he told the press and public may not be true at all." Media Trackers is a conservative non-partisan watchdog group. 2ND OCT 2012 AT 19:27 | BY COLLIN ROTH UPDATE: FEC Complaint Filed Against Jamie Wall Campaign, Denials Raise More Questions By Collin Roth On Tuesday, the .'Ipplcion I*asf-C re.sccni reported that an Outagamie County GOP official ili eda complaintwith the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against the Jamie Wall campaign (Democrat running in the Sth Congressional District) alleging that campaign manager Paula Zellner worked for a third-party labor group while employed by the campaign. The evidence against Zellner was uncovered hv Mf dia Trackers and highlighted by Green Bay radio host .lerrv Btuler. According to the Appleton Post-Crescent, the Wall campaign attempted to dismiss the allegations made in the complaint. Reporter Nick Penzenstadler writes: A campaign spokesman for Wall denied the allegation. The campaign says Zellner didn't begin work as manager until March S and has been paid appropriately since then. In a prepared statement. Wall called the complaint a "political stunt" and said "there's not an ounce Of tnith in this." Page 1 of8 By attempting to dismiss the allegations this way, the Wall campaign opened itself up to a number of unanswered questions that lead one to question the honesty ofthe campaign. If Paula Zellner started working for the Jamie Wall campaign on March f|> 2012, why does Zellner list Jamie Wall for Congress as her empiloyer and Campaign Manager as her position oil he Wall campaign's FEC report for a $150.00 donation recorded on October 3,2011?

A.gain, this would be previous to the March 5,2012 date provided by the Wall campaign. Given the evidence, it is a stretch of the imagination to believe that Paula 2[ellner was not employed by the Jamiie Wall campaign until March 5,2012. L.e:ivc ii ('ominiMii SHiMTI-THlS iwtf.i: SHARE 6 Comrhents 26TH SEP 2012 AT 14:31 j BY BRlAN-SLKfyiA Page 2 of8 SEIU, Dem SuperPAC Cancel TV Support for Wall Campaign By: Brian Sikma Just days after Media Trackers revealed serious concerns about possible federal campaign law violations on the part of an SEIU front-group and the Jamie Wall for Congress campaign. Roll Call is reporting that the SEIU and a Democrat affiliated SuperPAC aire cancelling television advertising buys originally intended to help boost Wall's campaign. The Media Trackers report highlights a potentially embarrassing situation that could cause outside groups to back away fix>m a toxic campaign. ^ Paula Zellner, campaign manager for Wall for Congress, appears to have retained a position of ^ influence with Wisconsin Jobs Nowl (an SEIU front-group) months after she joined the Wall Q campaign in October of 2011. As a ^rd-party group that was conducting activities designed to Ln help Wall and reduce support for his Republican opponent, Wisconsin Jobs Now! was prohibited by federal law from coordinating its activities with the Wall campaign. Campaign finance ^ reports, police reports and social media accounts all show that Zellner was working for bpth the Q third-party group and the campaign, a clear violation of federal election law. Nl None of the parties involved would comment on or deny the information Media Trackers uncovered. Talk radio in Green Bay did pick up the stoiy and it is not clear ifthe Wall campaign has responded to press inquiries about the issue. Third-party groups have become more powerfrd in recent election cycles helping to expand the map of competitive races and stretch the spending power of party and candidate conmiittees by remforcing tiieir message. Federal law strictly bars these outside groups from coordinating with the campaigns they are seeking to assist. For the SEIU and the House Majority PAC to cancel roughly $260,000 worth of television ads means that the Wall campaign will need tb bolster its own fimdraising and niedia strategy to make up for the lost support. For now the Democratic Congressional Canipaign Committee will be proceeding with its television ad buy that, accordmg to Roll Call, is scheduled to start on October 9th. 20TH SEP 2012 AT 10:55 j BY COLLIN ROTH Jamie Wall Press Release Scrubbed Of Controversial Aide? By Collin Roth On Tuesday, Media Trackers published an expcse on Paula Zellner, a Left-wing radical who has split her time as campaign manager for congressional candidate Jamie Wall and as an activist with the SEIU front group Wisconsin Jobs Nowl The evidence Media Trackers uncovered raises serious questions about whether Zellner was bemg paid simultaneously by the Wall campaign and Jobs Now!, and whether there was any illegal coordination between the Wall canipaign and the third party group that is targeting Wall's opponent. Page 3 of8 Now a new wrinkle has emerged in the saga of Paula Zellner.

By Collin Roth Evidence imcovered by Media Trackers indicates that the campaign manager for Jamie Wall, a Democrat running in the 8th Congressional District, worked for both a left-wing labor organization targetmg Wall's opponent Rep Reid Ribble while working for the Wall Campaign. Paula Zellner, a fonner aide to Sen. Russ Feingold, was employed as Political Coordinator by the SEIU front group WI.svoii.yhi Johx i\o\y! as early as the June of 2011. And in October.of 2011, Zellner was hired on as Jamie Wall's campaign manager. But evidence indicates Zellner may have continued at her post with Jobs Now!^ raising serious questions of campaign coordination between Jamie Wall and the third party labor group. From Jobs Now! to Jamie WaH On June 26,2011, Paula Zellner was listed as the coniaci for a Wisconsin Jobs Now! tjovm hall meeting for Rep. Owen Moore, Rep. Tammy Baldwin, and other local Milwaukee elected Page 5 of8 officials. Wisconsin Jobs ATow/deiscribes themselves as a "coalition bf community groups, neighborhood associations, faith based organizations and labor imited in an effort to bring good jobs to Wisconsin now." Jobs Now! is actually part of a well-funded operation by the national SEIU called \%\M I 'OI: A l -';iir r-coivomv. By October 2011, Zellner jumped on Jamie Wall's campaign as campaign manager. But a series of documents and an incident in Racine reveal that long after starting work for Wall, Zellner was still deeply involved in organizing protests and actionis for Jobs Now! On October 2,2011, right around the time that Zellner was hired by Wall, she donated $250.00 to Rep. Cory Mason (D-Racine).

Ln Ribbie's office in Appleton in a similar fashion to other occupations conducted in the last Kl year against GOP lawrnakers. Afteir the most recent Occupation in late July 2012, Zellner was quoted in the Manitowoc Herald Times saying "Congressman Reid Ribble doesn't publish a O public schedule when he is in Wisconsin, doesn't hold public meetings and kicks constituents out tfl ofhis office." In this quote, Zellner used the actions of Wisconsin Jobs Now!, an orgamzation she was and still may be involved with, to criticize Rep. Ribble while acting as ofliciai spokesman for candidate Jamie Wall. On Facebook, a group sprung up called Where's Ribble? The group lists Wisconsin Jobs Now! as their website and are known for theh cardboard cut-out of Rep. Reid Ribble. The Where's Ribble group is hosting an event to canvass on behalf of Jamie Wall on September 22. The close association between Paula Zellner and Wisconsin Jobs Now! while working for Wall is interesting in itself. But once Jobs Now! began targeting Rep Reid Ribble, Zellner's association and continued work for the organization raises serious questions of coordination between the campaign and the third party group. Furthermore, SEIU Healthcare WI, the source of funding for Wisconsin Jobs Now!, endorsed Jamie Wall as of July 30,2012. SEIU Healthcare WI shares oftice space with Wisconsin Jobs Now! and fiindcd tiie organization to the tune of $769,023.00 m 2011. Media Trackers reached out to both Paula Zellner and Wisconsin Jobs Now! to ask for explanations of Zellner's tenure with the organization. Neither were willing to respond.

"So between October 3, 2011 and the beginning of April, she was his campaign manager. But she was getting paid by a PAC," said Appleton attorney Ron Tusler, an offidal with the Outagamle'.Cbunty Republican Party, but v^o filed the FEC complaint on his own. IJ Those allegations were first raised on the conservative website "Mediawatchers-dot-com." ft:\Aa s based on 10/19/12 Complaint against \Atall campaign manager filed with FEC campaign reports that show an October 2011 contribution listing Zellner as campaign manager. That was the same time she was with the Service Employees international Union Political action committee. But Wall's campaign countered vMth a pay statement showing she served as campaign manager in early April 2012. Wall says when Zellner's oocupatiori changed, computers changed all records to refiect that. "There's only one record per person. That changed her occupation then. If you look at the origjihai version of that report that was filed, she's not listed as my campaign rrianager, because she wasn't," said Wall, Democratic challenger to Sth District Representative Reid Ribble. Wall and Tusler agree that accountability is heeded here. "If it decides to investigate, i thinic that will be a sign that It looks like there's something wrong here," tusler said. "fd like to be talking about the issues that matter to real people instead of all this personal mud slinging >Mien there's not an ounce of evidence for any of it." said Wall. O) The FEC will ultimately decide whether there is sufficient evidence to warrant an Investigation. O Local S's Terry Kovarik has the story.
