Rep. Sanford D. Bishop Jr. is the subject of a House Ethics Committee investigation for possible misuse of campaign funds.

From RollCall.com:

FEC regulations prohibit members from using campaign money to pay for dues to country clubs. Bishop spent $306 on “Membership” at Army Navy Country Club in 2016, a private Arlington, Va. club complete with “the finest amenities,” “championship golf,” and tennis facilities that are described as “a tennis enthusiast’s paradise.”

The FEC rules note: “Campaign funds may not be used to pay for dues to country clubs, health clubs, recreational facilities or other nonpolitical organizations unless the payments are made in connection with a specific fundraising event that takes place on the organization’s premises. Campaign funds may be used for membership dues in an organization that may have political interests.”

The only expense Bishop lists regarding the Army Navy Country Club is the membership payment.

Bishop has pursued fundraising endeavors at another country club where he has paid dues.

In 2014 and 2015, Bishop spent $2,463 of campaign money on “dues” at Green Island Country Club. The club, located in Columbus, Ga., has a golf course, fitness center, pool and other amenities. Since 2013, Bishop spent $235,000 on fundraising at the club. He also purchased over $39,000 on luncheons and other meals at Green Island Country Club. 

Representatives for Bishop did not respond to a request for comment on the Army Navy Country Club, Green Island Country Club and Perkins Coie expenditures.

Another interesting filing: Since 2003, Bishop’s campaign committee has spent over $213,000 on gas including at Shell, BP, Chevron, Citgo and Exxon, FEC filings show.
