A Mass regulator says a local political couple and a party chair may have violated campaign finance laws

Mass regulator: Political couple, party chair may have violated laws

April 12, 2021 | 2:16 PM A Massachusetts campaign finance regulator is referring a case of potential violations involving a Republican state senator, his wife who also holds elected office, and the state party’s chairman to the attorney general’s office. The development came last week after state Sen. Ryan Fattman and Worcester County Register of Probate Stephanie Fattman, both of Sutton and elected Republicans, mounted a legal challenge to the probe that ensued in Suffolk Superior Court last month, according to  Michael Sullivan, who’s helmed the Office of Campaign and Political Finance since 1994, indicated he has evidence the Fattmans and Massachusetts Republican Party Chairman Jim Lyons violated campaign finance laws. Sullivan sent the matter to the attorney general’s office on Thursday to review for a possible lawsuit or criminal charges, the newspaper reports.

Massachusetts’s top campaign finance regulator on Thursday told prosecutors he has evidence that a state senator, his wife, and the head of the state Republican Party, among others, may have violated various campaign finance laws, publicly expanding what already was an unusually high-profile investigation. The Office of Campaign and Political Finance formally referred a probe into state Senator Ryan Fattman and Worcester County Register of Probate Stephanie Fattman, both Sutton Republicans, to the attorney general’s office. The decision came less than 10 days after the Fattmans lost a court bid to temporarily block the agency from handing evidence against them to prosecutors, and just four days before Michael Sullivan, the OCPF’s longtime leader, is scheduled to be replaced.
