Louisville, KY – Republican candidate for attorney general Todd P'Pool won't return contributions from a for-profit university. Sullivan University is among several for-profits that are currently being probed by the attorney general's office. Campaign finance records show Sullivan officials contributed $12,000 to the P'Pool campaign. The GOP nominee has rejected calls by Democratic Attorney General Jack Conway's campaign to return the money. P'Pool says the donations haven't changed his agenda and won't have any bearing on his prosecuting of cases if elected this fall.
"Since the day I filed for this office up until today, right now my message has never changed and will not change. My principles are not for sale and when I'm in office I will uphold the rule of law and those folks who are violating the law will be prosecuted."
Last week, a former admissions officer accused Sullivan executives of urging employees to support P'Pool this November.
