U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles acknowledged a previously undisclosed six-figure loan almost 10 months after news reports revealed its existence.

On his 2023 U.S. House financial disclosure form, filed on Sept. 13, Ogles listed for the first time a loan worth between $500,001 to $1 million from FirstBank in September of 2022.

The one-term congressman failed to disclose this on previous forms, a fact noted by Nashville NewsChannel 5 in November, when it first reported on the loan.

The missing loan was part of a complaint by the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan watchdog organization, which alleged that Ogles had nearly $1 million in financial discrepancies between his House disclosure form and campaign finance reports.

Campaign finance discrepancies have plagued Ogles since he launched his bid for Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District in April 2022.
