RE: Oh Boebert, How Do Calendars Work Again?

Quote:Freshman Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado may face further legal action from the Federal Election Commission after she used campaign funds for a series of rent and utility payments totalling $6,250.
The FEC filings for Boebert's campaign detail a series of Venmo payments at the beginning of May and June of this year made to Jon Pacheco, whose address is listed as 120 E 3rd St, Rifle, CO — the same property in the western Colorado town where Boebert's "Shooter's Grill" restaurant is located.
A campaign spokesman confirmed to Forbes on Wednesday that the payments were in fact "personal expenses."
In an initial report filed with the FEC in July, each Venmo payment included a note that said "personal expense of Lauren Boebert billed to campaign account in error. Expense has been reimbursed" but did not specify who the payments had been made to. In an updated report filed on Tuesday, Boebert included Pacheco's name and specified that the payments were for $2,000 monthly rent and as well as $1,325 for each month's "rent/utilities."
FEC threatens Rep. Lauren Boebert with legal action after she made Venmo rent payments from her campaign account
But hey, she's hot, so...
This is implying that she self-reported the payments in error herself when she filed.
