May Members Use Campaign Funds for Parking Tickets?
Q: My New Year’s resolution is to stop getting parking tickets. I would be embarrassed to count all the money I send each year to the D.C. treasurer for parking fines. Yet a recent article made me wonder if, as a Member of the House, I have to pay these fines with my own money. The article said that at least one other Member pays for parking tickets with campaign funds and that this is allowed under the rules. If this is true, maybe I don’t need a New Year’s resolution after all. I’m not sure how comfortable I would be using campaign funds for parking tickets. But, just out of curiosity, do the rules allow it?
