12 payments ($11,802) with no purpose given, $11,802 of it to the candidate or family
Every itemized payment on a report must say what it was for. These leave it blank. Payments to the candidate or their family are allowed only as pay for work they did, so a payment to them with no purpose is worth asking about.
What to check
- The committee may have amended the report to add the purposes.
- Whether each payment is a reimbursement, pay for work, repayment of a loan the candidate made to the campaign, or something else.
