Planned Parenthood’s Wisconsin political-advocacy arm is being fined for failing to immediately disclose almost $120,000 in Democratic campaign contributions, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings.
Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin disclosed $133,305.04 in independent expenditures on their quarterly report in October, 2016, but $116,898 of that sum had not been immediately reported as required by law.
The previously unreported independent expenditures were evenly dispersed on August 31, 2016 between Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and former senator Russ Feingold’s unsuccessful bid to reclaim his seat from Republican incumbent Ron Johnson.
Planned Parenthood has agreed to pay a $5,850 civil penalty by April 6 for failing to disclose the contributions until the quarterly report, filed on October 11, revealed the discrepancy.
In response to the FEC’s request for additional information in August of last year, Planned Parenthood attributed the violation to an accounting oversight.
