Rep. Casada Fined $10,500 for Missing PAC Receipts

Posted by: Kate Prince on Jul 14, 2020

Rep. Glen Casada, R-Franklin, is being fined $10,500 by the Tennessee Bureau of Ethics and Campaign Finance after an audit found his political action committee had failed to provide receipts for $99,625 in campaign expenditures, the Nashville Post reports. The audit, which inspected Casada’s campaign finances from Jan. 1- June 30, 2018, also found his PAC failed to report $1,713 in contributions and $2,589 in expenditures. As a representative, Casada himself was found to have failed to report $1,063 in contributions, $1,520 in expenses and failed to provide supporting documents for $5,212 in campaign expenditures. Casada did supply bank statements reflecting his campaign purchases, a potential reason for his fine being $10,500 instead of the $2.9 million he was eligible to receive if the bureau had levied a civil penalty for every missing receipt.
