An analysis of campaign finance records shows Senate District 46 candidate Kristin Jones may be violating state law, and it’s not over donations.
A review of records shows Jones is the campaign treasurer for Kate Sweeney Bell’s campaign for Marion County Clerk and State Senator JD Ford.
The problem? It’s against the law.
Under Indiana Code 3-9-1-18, a treasurer of one campaign committee may be the treasurer of another committee, unless the treasurer is a candidate.
Jones is a candidate for the State Senate. She is also running for precinct committeeperson.
She has four other opponents and was the candidate slated by the Marion County Democratic Party.
A violation of IC 3-9-1-18 is subject to a penalty of not more than $500, imposed by a unanimous vote of either the county election board or Indiana election commission (depending on which body has jurisdiction)
