Richmond, VA. (AP) — Virginia lawmakers have defeated for another year campaign finance reform legislation that would have prohibited elected officials from spending political donations on personal expenses such as mortgages, vacations or gym memberships. Virginia allows unlimited donations from individuals, corporations and special interest groups. It is also a national outlier for lacking such a ban. And advocates at the General Assembly have been trying for more than a decade to put personal use restrictions on candidates’ spending. Their hopes that a bill would reach GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s desk this year ended with Wednesday’s unrecorded voice vote in a House committee.
