Emily Threlkeld Ford Maxes Out To Cohen Challenger

Adam Groves has the news:

Harold Ford Jr. just got married late last year, but he’s wasted no time in taking advantage of one of the main political advantages of marriage - insulation from controversal political donations. Looks like Ford’s bride, Emily Threlkeld Ford, has maxed out contributions to Nikki Tinker, the primary opponent of 9th district Congressman Steve Cohen. That gives Ford the opportunity to say it was only his wife acting independently should the donation go south and Cohen get more popular. Among the other eye-raising contributions tallied by Tinker is a $5,000 one from the Congressional Black Caucus. That’s the caucus the white Cohen tried to join - and was rejected - upon becoming a US Senator.
