Nebraska’s Republican Party filed a federal complaint against State Sen. Tom White on Tuesday, alleging that he or his staffers illegally transferred money from his state campaign funds to his federal campaign.

White’s campaign for Congress acknowledged the transfer as an error and said it was fixed before Republicans complained to the Federal Election Commission.

White, a Democrat, is challenging U.S. Rep. Lee Terry, R-Neb., in the state’s 2nd Congressional District, which includes Omaha and much of the metro area.

The campaign funds complaint centers on $1,000 that was transferred from the White for Legislature fund to the Tom White for Congress fund.

That’s illegal, according to FEC regulations, because candidates for federal office cannot transfer money raised for state and local elections to campaigns for federal office.
