California representative reimburses campaign for payments to oral surgeon and kids' school
Source: L. A. Times
Rep. Duncan D. Hunter (R-Alpine) says he has written personal checks totaling almost $12,000 to reimburse his campaign treasury for personal and mistaken expenditures in 2015 and the first quarter of this year.
The reimbursements covered $6,150 of campaign money paid to Hunters childrens school, $811 paid to an oral and facial surgeon, and $4,935 in event support items, event donation items and other expenses that Hunters office declined to identify with any more specificity.
Separately, Hunters office says, the campaign treasury has been made whole for some $1,300 in video game charges ...
Hunters staff attributed the misapplication of funds to a credit card mix-up, a familiar refrain in the ongoing review of campaign accounts.

Rep. Duncan D. Hunter (R-Alpine) is a darling of the right wing Tea Party wackos.

(42,564 posts)$6,150 to the candidate's children's school and $811 to an oral surgeon is indictment worthy.
