State representative Tammy Phelps is a Shreveport mayoral candidate.
She started the year with over $34,000 in campaign funds from her House of Representative seat that can be used in her mayoral campaign.
Today she filed her campaign expense report with the Louisiana Ethics Administration for the period from Jan. 1 through Sept. 24 of this year.
Phelps lists $0 (zero dollars) as campaign expenses.
But she has posted yard signs and large campaign signs on skids.
She has a campaign website.
She has printed campaign materials.
She has a campaign announcement at a rented venue.
She has had other campaign events that required spending money.
But NO expenses are listed for these obvious campaign costs.
So what is the deal?
Why has Phelps filed a false campaign expense report?
