Emails show Bethany Hall-Long enlisted her office staff to help with matters bearing little if any relevance to her role.

They include renewing her memberships in various women’s groups and making donations to community groups.

Some expenditures were made with campaign funds.

Under Delaware law, state employees are prohibited from engaging in any political activity during work hours .

Hall-Long has maintained that the campaign finance irregularities were simply “bookkeeping errors” involving loans that she made to her campaign but did not report. New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer , her chief rival for the Democratic nomination, has called for a federal investigation into Hall-Long's campaign finances.
