Democratic Senate incumbent Raphael Warnock has spent $60,000 dollars from his campaign fund to pay for childcare, including $11,000 to himself that he describes as reimbursement for childcare he paid for.
Did he need someone to watch his kids while he was evicting people that owed him less than $29 bucks? The more I know about this guy, the less I like him. Let’s hope the good people of Georgia agree with me.
Senator Warnock’s campaign, Warnock for Georgia, paid out $61,959.40 from 2020 to 2022 to pay for child care. There were 33 payments made, but only one of them is listed as childcare expenses (campaign-related) and the other 32 simply said child care. Most of the payments listed childcare providers, but one for $11,847.40 was paid directly to Warnock for “childcare reimbursement.” Candidates are allowed to use campaign funds for childcare if those expenses are a direct result of attending a campaign event.
But, FEC regulations forbid campaigns from spending on childcare that would be necessary regardless of whether there is a campaign event or not. According to the Daily Wire, Warnock appeared to be paying for childcare that was not necessarily campaign-related. Warnock nor his campaign responded to the inquiry made by The Blaze.
A July article by OpenSecrets reported how much campaign money federal candidates have used on childcare services during the 2022 election as of March. FEC filings revealed that candidate Tamika Hamilton (R), running for California’s sixth congressional district, used over $36,000 in campaign funds for childcare expenses. California Representative Eric Swalwell (D) also made the top of the list for using over $35,000 in campaign funds for childcare.
Hamilton told OpenSecrets that she received criticism for using donor funds to cover childcare expenses.
“I can’t imagine how many people are missing out on good leadership simply because they can’t afford it,” Hamilton stated.
The FEC held an open meeting in July to consider new regulations regarding campaign money after Swalwell requested if funds could be used for childcare expenses when campaigning or traveling overnight. The FEC concluded that the funds could be used for childcare if the expenses were incurred as a result of being on the campaign trail.
The shame of it is, this will not be an issue for the 2022 election, coming just one week before the vote. The election will be long over before anything is settled.
Warnock has never addressed the fact that he and his church were evicting people who owed on average just $125 dollars, with one as low as $28 and change, while at the same time wanting to require landlords to forego thousands in unpaid rent ostensibly because of the pandemic. Let’s face it, he is too extreme for the people of Georgia.

This is no surprise. He must be in the leadership of BLM. What a pos.
This LIAR & CRIMINAL should be in JAIL right now!
The rest of the loot Warnock pocketed is in the FREEZER as usual for these types.
Is this pos going to avoid accountability like the rest of the resident DC scumbags do?…
Isn’t that what Dems are good at,Stealing
He has that “I pocket money look”? Right into the camera.
Hmmm. Childcare. Is that in terms of “daddy” or “father”? I lean towards “daddy.”
This is a total CROCK!!! Demonrats always find ways to usurp the rules.
He is a CRIMINAL … Lock him up !
That would be standard operating procedure for all democrats, only republicans are held to account for these crimes, ask any authority tasked with enforcing the laws!
Is there early voting in GA? I wonder how many votes went to him before this revelation of corruption.
Yep, and he is not the only one…………AOC and Stacey Abrams think people just send the money to them to keep…………..
Stacey hid over 9M in her best friend’s Law Firm, and AOC puts it in her Fiance’s checking account (oh, and he lives with her as well folks.
And this is just a couple of the Dems who pocket Campaign donor’s money for themselves.
This man is a MLK stooge! He went to the same church and uses GOD’s HOLY Name to exclaim his will on the masses! Then he went into a Godless entity called politics! The man does not realize that “The god” (called Allah in Arabic) of this world rules those in politics, and also rules those in the media. Ephesians 2:2 KJV this man is NOTHING more than a “BASE” man as all politicians are! Dan 4:17 c KJV
you are such a liar , warnock . and you call yourself a minister ? OH PLEASE . you are just another money hungry sob . if I were in your church I would disavow you and your religion .
Warnock is an all around bad guy who is not fit for public office. While he was in DC for two years, what did he accomplish besides voting for Biden policies? The people of Georgia deserve so much more. Walker is their senator.
and he is a commie too!
