Doug Beghtel/The OregonianThen-Rep. David Wu, D-Ore., speaks at a town hall in Portland in April of 2011, less than four months before his resignation.Former Rep. David Wu, D-Ore., continues to spend money out of his old campaign fund, without providing much explanation for where most of it is going.
A new report filed with the Federal Election Commission showed that Wu was reimbursed nearly $4,000 for unspecified expenses during the first three months of the year. Wu resigned in August following a sex scandal.
All told, Wu’s old campaign fund – which has been renamed the “Education & Opportunity Fund II” –reported spending nearly $20,000 in the first quarter of 2012. The committee spent more than $1,200 on travel and more than $7,000 on legal expenses.
Just two of the expenditures showed a clear political purpose. In February, he gave $500 checks to both the Clatsop and Yamhill County Democratic central committees.
