Udall Got $1,500 From Abramoff's Employers

U.S. Senate candidate Mark Udall took $1,500 in contributions from two firms that once employed disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Udall's campaign spokeswoman, Taylor West, said the donations from the companies' political action committees to the Eldorado Springs Democrat's congressional campaigns were legal. She said Udall plans to donate the $1,500 to an organization in the Marianas Islands that assists victims of human trafficking.

Abramoff and the islands have become an issue in Udall's Senate race against former Congressman Bob Schaffer, a Fort Collins Republican who left office in 2002.

Schaffer's campaign manager, Dick Wadhams, ripped Udall on Wednesday, questioning why he waited to return donations he got in 2000 and 2002.
