Sen. Jerry Moran’s (R-Kan.) reelection campaign was a victim of deceit by a cybercriminal for the amount of $690,000, his office announced on Monday.

The Kansas Senator’s campaign treasurer, Timothy Gottschalk, notified the Federal Election Commission (FEC) of “fraudulent activity by a third-party cybercriminal” with a letter on Dec. 8, 2022.
