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 Hunter’s children’s school, $811 paid to an oral and facial surgeon, and $4,935 in “event support items,” “event donation items” and other expenses that Hunter’s office declined to identify with any more specificity.
Separately, Hunter’s office says, the campaign treasury has been made whole for some $1,300 in video game charges ...

Hunter’s staff attributed the misapplication of funds to a credit card mix-up, a familiar refrain in the ongoing review of campaign accounts.

That "stuff" happens all the time. A campaign pays for a print shop to make up some campaign
literature and they pay a kid's private school fees by mistake.

Hunter Jr. is as honest and trustworthy as his father, which is to say those words should not be allowed within a parsec of either of these false gentlemen.

Please forgive him for these mistakes, he didn't know better.

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