“Based upon Feehan’s financial disclosure reports to the U.S. House of Representatives, he was paid an extraordinary $184,000 from August 13, 2018 through December 31st of that year by multiple non-profits,” he continued. “Working 8 hours per day, every day, weekends included, during that 85-day period, would constitute Mr. Feehan being paid $271 per hour. Such wages cannot be justified based upon any reasonable standard, especially considering Mr. Feehan was waging a full-time campaign for Congress in a closely contested race from August 13 through November 6th.”

Accepting wages while running for Congress and not performing bona fide work is a clear felony violation of Federal Election Commission statutes.

“Feehan should immediately provide proof of how he earned almost $500,000 over a short period of time while also running for a contested House seat. It certainly appears Dan was paid to run for Congress, and concerned voters across southern Minnesota deserve answers, which I hope an investigation by the FEC will provide.” Hagedorn concluded.
