Kucinich Owes FEC $50K
The Hill reports:
The Federal Election Commission has ordered Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) to repay more than $50,000 that that the agency says was improperly used for campaign expenses in 2004.
In a ruling issued Thursday, the FEC said Kucinich used $52,443 in public matching funds to pay for campaign expenses after he was no longer a candidate for president.
The Ohio Democrat was given 30 days to pay back the funds to the U.S. Treasury.
"The Commission reaches this conclusion because the Commission found that [Kucinich for President] received an insufficient amount of private contributions after the candidate's 001 to pay for all of its continuing to campaign expenses. KFP, therefore, paid some of those expenses with matching funds," the FEC's decision reads.
