NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Campaign finance documents indicate a more than $190,000 discrepancy between state Rep. Jeremy Durham’s bank records and his re-election account.
The Tennessean reports that bank records show that that the Franklin Republican’s campaign account had a balance of less than $7,000 even as his financial disclosure with the state said he had almost $200,000 on hand.
Durham lost the Republican primary earlier this month after suspending his campaign in the wake of a state attorney general’s report detailing allegations of improper sexual interactions with 22 women. Durham has denied most of those allegations.
A Bureau of Ethics and Campaign Finance memo says Durham created a $30,000 line of credit for himself from his campaign account, which was also the source of other loans and investments to companies and individuals.
