VALPARAISO | FBI agents appeared at the Porter County Administration Building on Monday seeking copies of campaign records for Portage Mayor James Snyder.

Sundae Schoon, the Republican director at the county voter registration office, said the FBI agents requested his campaign finance records and records from his political action committee Portage Mayor Elect 2011.

Schoon said the agents were in the office about 10 minutes, just long enough for her to make copies of the records.

Snyder responded in an email stating he has done nothing wrong.

"I have been advised that government agents have asked to review my campaign-finance records. These records are now, and have always been, available to the public on the Internet. In fact, to my knowledge, I was the first public official in Porter County to post such records in a public forum. My campaign has done nothing wrong, and we look forward to this matter being wrapped up as expeditiously as possible," the message stated.
