A former Republican National Committee finance official who was forced to resign last year following allegations that she had spent party money at a jewelry store has found a new home in the free-spending campaign of Virginia GOP Senate candidate George Allen.

According to Federal Election Commission records, her firm has received more than $75,000 for advice since February.
