Montana Auditor Rosendale's $2700 a Head Florida Fundraiser to Pay Himself Back

Matt Rosendale’s first big action as Montana Auditor is to try and recoup the expenses of his failed run for congress in 2014. Back when he lost to Zinke in the primary he self-funded with his personal fortune and now he is trying to get Floridians to pay him for running for office. Sounds confusing, right?

Well, state and federal election law allows for separate donation amounts and must be held in separate accounts. So, he is trying to get rid of his debt from 2014 from that federal race now that he is State Auditor he can sell some access to get his money back.

Only Maryland multi-millionaire Matt Rosendale would think this was a proper use of his title as a statewide elected official.



I do wonder what these people are really buying with this donation?
