American Senator Rand Paul still travels great, courtesy of his political donors

In December, Kentucky Lantern reported luxury travel and resort from Paul’s political committees, focusing on about $ 50,000 on a five -star hotel, fantastic restaurants and luxury trips while traveling to Stockholm and Copenhagen.

The Fec Forbids A Candidate from Using Campaign Committee Funds on Personal Expenses, But Paul’s Spokeswoman Kelsey Cooper Said in December That of the Scandin Extra AII, California, Utah, Colorado, Florida and Georgia In the last two years, they have been for the authorized purpose of fundraising.

“Event and money rates are common, accepted and properly using the campaign funds,” Cooper said. “You have to spend money to raise money.”

National ethics guards related to Kentucky’s lantern last year agreed that it was legal for candidates to use campaign funds to pay for luxury trips and meals as part of the fundraising activity. But they said that such a fundraising could be the corruption and – when it gets public – they cause concern among voters who see selected employees living in luxury courtesy of campaign donors who may request services from the government.

The $ 44,240 payment to Pendry Park City in December was stated in a report recently submitted by Rand Paul for the US Senate with FEC, which lists the committee’s contributions and costs for the last three months of 2024.

Cooper did not return a message on Thursday from the Kentucky lantern.

The latter report shows that the Paul Re -election Committee continues to raise and spend large sums. During the three -month period, he announced that he had raised $ 985.00 and spent $ 741,000. The bigger part of the expenses were not for travel, but for digital advertising and direct mail.

As of December 31, the Paul Commission announced that it has $ 6.7 million in cash. Paul still has almost four years in his current term.

During the same period, senior senator of Kentucky Mitch McConnell said he had raised only $ 94,000 – less than one -tenth of what Paul raised. The McConnell Senate Committee has said it has spent $ 120,000 during the period. But McConnell reported that there were nearly $ 8.1 million by hand as of December 31, a huge amount should decide to seek re -election in 2026.
