MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Milwaukee City Council member Chantia Lewis, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, was charged Tuesday with a series of campaign finance violations for allegedly using donations and improper travel reimbursements on more than $21,000 in car payments, family trips, a worship conference and other personal expenses.
The four felonies and one misdemeanor were filed by the Milwaukee County district attorney's office. Lewis was first elected to the Milwaukee City Council in 2016 and announced her candidacy for Senate in July. She is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 29.
Lewis has made no immediate comment on the charges. Her attorney, Jason Luczak, said Lewis would seek to have the charges dismissed. He said prosecutors can't establish any criminal intent and account statements not referenced in the complaint would show Lewis had no intention of stealing money or committing a crime.

Lewis is one of 11 Democratic candidates in the Senate race for the seat currently held by Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson. He has not said yet whether he will seek a third term.
Lewis, in her Senate campaign launch video, touted her service in the U.S. Air Force, her current work as a pastor and her 2016 election to the Milwaukee City Council.
“All my life I’ve been told what I can’t do,” she said, walking through the streets of Milwaukee.

.........our Congress and our state legislatures are full of people with no morals and no character like Chantia Lewis. That is why our country is so screwed up.
AND, the biggest 2 are the biggest loser’s in US History and, no doubt, like Chantia Lewis, unconvicted felons. Namely, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Yep. Just what I imagined.
Lewis added that she made the request on her personal page, and it was meant for family and friends.
I think the nation in all areas of commerce and government is corrupt these days......few escape being so and or are run out of where it flourishes.
They don’t call it the “gimme dat” party for nothing.
Can’t do? Apparently this typical black demon rat CAN lie and steal without conscience.
OIC, it’s not okay if she does it.
It still okay if presidential candidates commit fraud.
Got it!
That should boost her chances of winning among Democrats.
Democrats do cheat.
couldn’t even breathe for a while there...
Yeah, there are loads of black Irish. Uh huh.
Man Dinwiddie,
Loveliest lass I EVER saw was a receptionist at Schmidt Datsun in Chicago.
Just came over she did and had skin like milk, beautiful auburn hair and emerald eyes to die for.
She had four very large brothers and I said to my self they will KILL you.
To hear her speak sent ones heart a dancing.
This is NOT her.
Agreed.
Agreed.
“...touted her service in the U.S. Air Force, her current work as a pastor and her 2016 election to the Milwaukee City Council.
“All my life I’ve been told what I can’t do,” she said, walking through the streets of Milwaukee.”
Just a couple of thoughts.
1 - She should sometimes listen when people tell her she can’t do things.
2 - She still has an excellent chance at winning the Dim nomination for senator.
So do Pubbies. Duncan Hunter was actually in Congress, and makes this amount seem like chicken scratch.
