As spring turned to summer, Karoline Leavitts 2022 congressional campaign committee failed to pay off a penny of the $326,370.50 it owes across more than 100 creditors, according to a new disclosure filed with the Federal Election Commission.
Much of the campaigns debt stems from illegal and excessive contributions that it accepted several years ago but hasnt returned to donors. Leavitts committee reported no cash on hand as of June 30 and long ago spent excessive contributions it accepted.
Dozens of individual donors are owed refunds, including former New Hampshire Gov. Craig Benson and former New Hampshire Senate Majority Leader Robert Clegg Jr., who died in 2023.
Other creditors include campaign vendors, such as Missouri-based consultant Axiom Strategies ($46,747), Missouri-based polling firm Remington Research Group ($41,000) and Washington, D.C.-based fundraising firm Fundraising Inc. ($12,815).
