Sen. Mike Braun's Campaign Fined $159,000 for Finance Violations

The fine, one of the largest in FEC history, was issued for misreporting $11.5 million in loans during the 2018 election.

U.S. Sen. Mike Braun's Senate campaign fined $159,000 by the FEC for campaign finance violations during the 2018 election.
The fine is among the largest in FEC history, representing a small percentage of the misreported $11.5 million in campaign loans.
Violations were attributed to clerical errors by the campaign's former treasurer, Travis Kabrick, rather than illegal activities.
Braun's campaign is exploring ways to cover the fine, emphasizing commitment to compliance and transparency in future financial reporting.
The fine is the second-largest imposed by the FEC on a senatorial campaign, raising questions about oversight and campaign finance laws.
