The Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Tuesday announced that it has denied a request by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Ca.) to use campaign funds to pay for childcare expenses when he travels to support other Democratic campaigns and at the request of foreign governments and entities.
In a statement, the FEC said that it approved a tally vote on Monday, upholding a previous ruling that campaign funds may only be used to pay for overnight childcare expenses when he travels for his own campaign and his spouse is not available to care for their young children.
