Report: Karoline Leavitt’s Former House Campaign Still Owes $326,000
More than $210,000 in excess donations must be refunded, and the campaign has no cash on hand or progress toward retiring the debt.
- Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's congressional campaign committee still owes creditors more than $326,000, according to a NOTUS report citing a new Federal Election Commission filing from her unsuccessful 2022 New Hampshire race.
- More than $210,000 of the debt stems from excessive contributions that federal law requires campaigns to refund, yet Leavitt's campaign currently has no cash on hand to issue those legally mandated repayments.
- The New Hampshire Bulletin reported that campaigns must repay donors for excessive contributions within 60 days per FEC regulations, yet Leavitt's campaign "has made no financial progress toward doing so," according to NOTUS.
- Since May 1, 2025, the Federal Election Commission has been unable to take enforcement action after losing the minimum number of commissioners required to perform such duties, creating a de facto shutdown.
- President Donald Trump nominated two Republicans to restore the quorum, but they await Senate confirmation, leaving it unclear whether the commissioners would pursue enforcement against Leavitt's campaign once confirmed.
