Lagana’s most recent ELEC report shows him making large campaign contributions to candidates throughout New Jersey outside of his legislative district.  The contributions are not campaign related where they are not paying for a service- fundraising venue, mailers, commercials, other advertisements etc. 

The campaign contributions are directly used to for “Cleary Giacobbe” to purchase public contracts without adhering to reporting requirements and thresholds for individual contributors.
