The Federal Election Commission has fined the campaign fund of former Illinois Congressman Rodney Davis and its treasurer $43,475 for failing to refund excess contributions in a timely manner

FILE - U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., right, speaks during a House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on Capitol Hill in Washington, May 18, 2022. The Federal Election Commission has fined the campaign fund of former Illinois Congressman Davis and its treasurer $43,475 for failing to refund excess contributions in a timely manner.

In a negotiated settlement with Davis' committee and Datwyler, the FEC found that one contribution of $3,625 and general election contributions of $479,784 were not properly redistributed within 60 days, resulting in the fine. Davis was not eligible for the larger amount because he was not on the 2022 general election ballot.

The FEC noted that the committee disclosed refunds of excessive contributions on quarterly and year-end reports for 2022 and in January 2024 filed paperwork disclosing the refunds that were part of the negotiated settlement.
