Federal Election Commission warns AL-3 Dem congressional hopeful Mallory Hagan on potential campaign finance violations

According to a letter dated October 25, 2018, from the Federal Election Commission addressed to Carlton Hunley, the treasurer for Alabama third congressional district Democratic nominee Mallory Hagan’s campaign, there are some campaign finance questions regarding her bid to unseat incumbent Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Saks).

The letter from the FEC’s Chris Jones, identified as a campaign finance analyst for the agency’s Reports Analysis Division, cites two potential areas of concern for the Hagan campaign regarding her most recent quarterly report filed October 15.


The first area of concern according to Jones is that “one or more” of Hagan’s campaign contributions appear to exceed legal limits. The second is contributions classified as primary campaign contributions, which according to Jones’ letter “may only be accepted to the extent that the committee has net debts outstanding from the 2018 primary election.”

The contributions in question are from an individual named Robert M. Browne, as disclosed by the attachment at the end of Jones’ letter.

These raised potential indiscretions come as Hagan has been critical of others for the sources of their contributions, despite reportedly hosting her own fundraisers in New York City and Los Angeles.
