Blystone has been under scrutiny by LaRose’s office for months for a number of campaign-finance issues, including not properly recording thousands of dollars in small donations.

in April as part of a plea deal in which he admitted to using more than $134,000 of his campaign money for personal expenses.

LaRose’s office also took issue with the Blystone campaign listing thousands of dollars in contributions not by individual donors but in an aggregate total collected for each campaign event. For example, one Blystone campaign finance report said that the campaign collected $3,836 during an event in Seneca County on July 9, 2021.

Another corrupt MAGAt.
