Two representatives on pace to overspend 2019 budgets

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on June 17, 2019

Two Democratic representatives are on track to overspend their 2019 office budgets if they keep up their spending, according to a new LegiStorm breakdown of member expenses.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), who is running for president, tops the ranks with 26.85 percent spent. The average representative spent 19.26 percent of his or her annual budget during that same time period. Gabbard's expenses include 7.45 percent of her entire annual budget already spent on printing costs and franked mail to constituents. The average member has spent less than 0.25 percent of their budgets on mass mailings.

Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) follows Gabbard with 25.45 percent of her budget gone, thanks mainly to her office's high travel expenses. Official expense books do not detail where Wilson's office traveled to rack up nearly $28,000 in taxpayer travel expenses in just three months. But the spending includes roughly $15,000 on commercial transportation, $5,000 on lodging, $3,000 on car rentals and $1,500 on taxis, parking and tolls.

Subjects: Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL); Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI)
