State Sen. Carole Migden has agreed to pay a record $350,000 in fines for 89 violations of state campaign finance laws that include using political funds for personal benefit and failing to disclose what her political committees purchased with credit cards, according to documents released Tuesday.
The San Francisco Democrat, who is chairwoman of the Senate Democratic Caucus, also admitted raising funds for her current reelection campaign before filing the proper papers and failing to report contributions by state deadlines.
Migden, campaign treasurer Roger Sanders and campaign aide Eric Potashner committed campaign reporting and related violations over a four-year period, according to a report prepared by enforcement staff of the state Fair Political Practices Commission.
