Three weeks ahead of the Aug. 7 primary – and just before the start of early voting today – Tennessee 3rd Congressional District candidate Weston Wamp faces a federal complaint over his campaign finances.
A Signal Mountain businessman said he filed a Federal Election Commission complaint on Thursday over pay Wamp has received from his employer during the campaign.
Wamp, 27, is challenging two-term incumbent U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann in the Republican primary. The winner will face Democrat Mary Headrick in November.
Citing figures from Wamp’s personal financial disclosure, businessman Ralph Mann said Thursday he questioned Wamp’s employment status on the campaign trail.
