LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Republican U.S. Senate candidate Pete Hoekstra’s campaign filed a complaint Tuesday with the Federal Elections Commission over what it says was deceptive campaign finance reporting by an independent political action committee running TV attack ads against him in the final weeks before the Aug. 7 primary election.

Hoekstra campaign attorney Charlie Spies told reporters in a conference call that the complaint was filed after Prosperity for Michigan filed a July 13 campaign finance report showing no donors or spending, then filed an amended report 10 days later showing $188,500 in donations going back to April. The report covered April 1 to June 30.
