Pureval raised $660,000 in the first eight weeks after announcing his candidacy with nearly 80% of the money from people local to the district. This, his campaign team claimed, was more than any Democratic challenger had raised in a single quarter against Chabot.[11][12]

General election edit

Campaign edit

Despite being the strongest challenger to Chabot since his congressional comeback in 2010, the Pureval campaign was hit with two significant controversies that impacted their chances.

Firstly, he was accused of spending funds from his clerk campaign account on expenances in relation to his house campaign, in violation of Ohio election law.[19][20] The Ohio Elections Commission dismissed 28 of 29 charges brought against the campaign, before issuing them a $100 fine for the single upheld charge (which had been caused by a clerical error).[21]

Secondly, a 22-year-old Pureval volunteer managed to infiltrate the Chabot campaign and gain access to a sensitive voter database.[22] After the election Pureval would "take responsibility" for the volunteer's actions and formally apologized to Chabot.[23]
