Rob Anderson Pt. 3:
I interviewed Rob’s former campaign manager, Cara Stagg, who worked on his congressional race for 1 year. After 4 months on the job, Stagg said Anderson asked her to take on the task of doing the FEC filings. Stagg says she had no such experience. 1/5
I interviewed Rob’s former campaign manager, Cara Stagg, who worked on his congressional race for 1 year. After 4 months on the job, Stagg said Anderson asked her to take on the task of doing the FEC filings. Stagg says she had no such experience. 1/5
When asked to take on the role, which Anderson said was formerly done by a consulting firm, Stagg says she expressed concern. After trying to do the work, Stagg says, “I told him they (numbers) don’t match. I couldn’t get it to square.” 2/5
That’s when Stagg says she told Rob that she wouldn’t be able to do the filings. Stagg believes that’s when Anderson just stopped reporting to the FEC. The last report was filed in March 2020. The FEC sent its first warning letter on July 13, 2020. Five more followed. 3/5
According to FEC filings, the campaign’s biggest payout was to a consulting firm which became an LLC on 12/12/19. The first payment to this firm was 3 days later. According to Stagg, “money seemed to be unaccounted for”. And this is where the story gets more complicated. 4/5
For those of you following this story, please be patient as I collect the rest of the information. It’s a complicated process with lots of twists and turns and I want to do it the right way. 5/5
