AZ Senator McSally hit with yet another fine for another election law violation
An investigation by the Federal Election Commission found Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) violated election law by not properly reporting more than $50,000 in campaign donations, according to a Feb. 11 letter from the FEC to the McSally campaign.
During her 2014 House reelection campaign, McSally failed to report $54,300 in campaign contributions in the required 48-hour window near the end of the campaign. As a result, the FEC levied a $5,028 fine, which the McSally campaign paid in March 2019.
This violation is not the first run-in the McSally team has had with the FEC.
In June, the AP reported the FEC levied a $23,000 fine against the McSally campaign for a separate election law violation.
The McSally campaign was slapped with that fine because it accepted more than $315,000 in campaign contributions beyond the limit allowed by law. Further, the campaign failed to properly disclose $33,000 in contributions from political action committees.
