Mark Udall dresses for success, charges his campaign account

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mark Udall might be into “recycling” his suits, but he apparently does not buy second-hand when it comes to advertising clothing.

According to Udall’s latest campaign finance report, the sitting congressman dropped $524.04 on “ad clothing” at Eddie Bauer. This revelation comes around the same time the Republican National Committee has come under fire for dropping a substantially larger sum — more than $150,000 — on Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s wardrobe.

Tara Trujillo, spokeswoman for the Udall campaign, said the congressman bought “several shirts and vests for campaign ads.” She said Udall’s new clothes were used in several campaign commercials.

In case you are so inclined, we’ve attached Udall’s campaign finance report below. See page 1,546 for the Eddie Bauer purchase:

For the record: Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Schaffer did not report spending any campaign funds on clothing, according to his recently file campaign finance report. He did, however, report spending $119.45 in mid-July at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia.
