COVINGTON – The police chief of a city in western Washington was caught off guard when he saw that his photo with Democratic Congresswoman Kim Schrier was used in a mailer ad without his permission. Schrier had taken a picture with Covington Police Chief Adam Easterbrook for a news release and learned that photo was taken by a third-party campaigning group to develop a campaign promotion for the upcoming election. The flyer was reportedly sent out by a super PAC called Shield PAC. The law states that super PACS aren’t allowed to coordinate with campaigns.
