$8,200 paid by the campaign to the candidate and family ($8,200 to family)
Campaign money may go to a candidate or their family only as pay for work actually done; reimbursing campaign costs they paid out of pocket (mileage, travel, supplies) is common and allowed. The purposes the campaign wrote are listed with each payment. Not counted: $7,091.61 repaying the candidate's loans to the campaign or returning their money, which the law allows.
What to check
- Whether each payment is a reimbursement for campaign costs, or pay for work done.
- Family is matched by last name and the home address on file with the Board; relatives elsewhere aren't found.
