Richard Moody is reporting for Columbia-Greene Media Democrat Gareth Rhodes is calling on U.S. Rep. John Faso to return campaign donations he received from the political action committee affiliated with U.S. Rep. Patrick Meehan of Pennsylvania. Rhodes is one of six candidates in the June 26 19th Congressional District Democratic primary. The winner of that race will face off against Faso in November. Meehan is accused of sexual misconduct and is alleged to have used taxpayer funds to confidentially settle a complaint filed by his former aide.
