Sen. Martha McSallyâs last fundraising report did not disclose employment information for 84 different donors who contributed more than $60,000, adding to the $2.1 million reported without such information in the last two years and rehashing an issue from a past campaign that resulted in an audit by the Federal Election Commission.
The FEC requires campaigns to disclose the employer and occupation of donors who contribute more than $200, or at least make their âbest effortâ to do so, including an effort to reach the donor in writing and search other campaign filings to fill in the gaps.
McSally, R-Ariz., reported Monday bringing in more than $819,000 in itemized contributions, the type that requires employment information.
Of that, $60,976 came from donors who gave between $200 and $5,600, the maximum allowed — $2,800 for the primary and $2,800 for the general election — but whose employer and job were not reported.
In 2017 and 2018, the campaign reported $2.1 million without disclosing the donorsâ employers or occupations.
In May, the FEC released its audit of McSallyâs 2014 campaign, finding that its filings âlacked disclosure of occupation/name of employerâ for 1,266 contributions totaling $687,572.
The audit also found that the campaign âreceived contributions from individuals that exceeded the limit totaling $319,212â and âfailed to itemize contributions from political committees totaling $32,750.â
McSally is running to keep her Senate seat next year.
Weeks after McSally lost the race to replace Sen. Jeff Flake to Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat, in November, she was appointed to the Senate by Gov. Doug Ducey to serve out the remainder of the late Sen. John McCainâs term after the first fill-in, John Kyl, stepped down.
