Massachusetts regulators concluded Thursday they have found evidence of campaign finance violations involving a number of state and local Republican officials, including Sen. Ryan Fattman, his wife, and Republican State Committee Chair James Lyons.
In a series of letters dated April 8, the outgoing head of the Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance, Michael Sullivan, referred the case to Attorney General Maura Healey, who in turn has the power to file a lawsuit or seek criminal charges. We have concluded that there is evidence of violations, the letters read.
