The Federal Election Commission has fined the campaign for Rodney Davis after it was revealed that they filed to refund excess contributions.  In a letter that the FEC sent to Thomas Datwyler, Treasurer for Rodney for Congress, it is revealed that the civil penalty is $43,475.  It is due by May 17th.  The negotiated settlement was approved by the Commission on April 15th. 

The fees come from the 2022 campaign. According to the letter that was sent, a candidate must refund excessive contributions within 60 days if they don’t redesignate it for a campaign.  The FEC found one contribution of $3,625 and general election contributions of $479,783.82 were not refunded in the timeframe allotted.  The FEC says that all contributions have been remedied, but they weren’t done in the time required. 

The Committee states it intends to terminate its political status upon resolution. To see the letter that was sent click here.
