Report: Chabot campaign funds missing

By
-
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is investigating an alleged theft of $123,625.72 from the campaign of Congressman Steve Chabot, R-Cincinnati.

According to reports, Mark Braden, an attorney for Chabot’s campaign, released a statement this week that said Chabot was "shocked and deeply disappointed to be informed that his campaign committee may be the victim of financial malfeasance and misappropriation of funds. Unfortunately the misappropriation of funds by some campaign treasurers has been far too common an occurrence over the years."

Chabot has served Ohio's First Congressional District for 20 years. Since becoming a member of Congress, Chabot has served on the Committee on the Judiciary, the Committee on Small Business and the Committee on Foreign Affairs. He currently serves as chairman of the House Committee on Small Business.
