TNDP facing ‘significant financial penalty’

The Tennessee Democratic Party is facing a “significant financial penalty” after the Federal Election Commission completed an audit of the party’s federal campaign spending in 2015 and 2016.

New TNDP Chair Hendrell Remus informed members of the party’s executive committee of the fine in an email obtained by the Post. New party leaders and their legal counsel are working on negotiating the penalty, Remus told committee members. A spokesperson for the FEC said the agency could not discuss enforcement matters until they are resolved.
