Hagedorn Releases Timeline of Feehan's Questionable Financial Disclosures

BLUE EARTH, Minn. — The Hagedorn for Congress campaign today released a timeline which provides further documentation of DFL opponent Dan Feehan’s controversial Disclosure Report filings.

“Dan Feehan needs to account for the hundreds of thousands of dollars that went into his bank account and to prove his wages were for bona fide work and did not constitute illegal campaign contributions,” Hagedorn said. “Remember, 48 hours ago Feehan denied being employed by anyone.”

Timeline:

November 28, 2017:

Feehan filed his Financial Disclosure Report. According to his report, he was paid income by the following groups:

• Leadership for Educational Equity – $50,000.00
• Center for a New American Security – $7,916.00

August 13, 2018:

Feehan filed his Financial Disclosure Report. According to his report, he was paid income by the following groups:

• Leadership for Educational Equity – $120,000 (noted on original 2019 House disclosure)
• Center for a New American Security – $55,412.00
• New Politics Leadership Academy – $64,000

October 31, 2019:

Feehan filed his Financial Disclosure Report. According to his report, he was paid income by the following groups:

• Leadership for Educational Equity – $120,000.00
• New Politics Leadership Academy – $55,500.00

September 27, 2020:

In televised KEYC-TV debate (see 48:30 mark) Hagedorn confronts Feehan about various income matters in Feehan’s House financial disclosure. Feehan denied taking money from groups and claims he’s never heard of them before. Argues he is unemployed.

September 28, 2020:

Hagedorn filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission seeking an investigation as to whether or not Feehan performed bona fide work in return for as much as $476,000 in wages over a short two-year timeframe. Failure to do so would constitute felony violations of Federal Election Commission campaign contribution limits.

Feehan amends his 2019 Financial Disclosure Report, completely erasing $120,000 from LEE from his income on a report he previously signed and verified as true.

Questions:

Where did the $120k go from Feehan’s 2018/2019 filings – which he previously verified as correct?

When will Feehan release a copy of each contract he signed with the three non-profit entities?

How many hours of work did Feehan perform for each of the contracts, what specific days/weeks was the work performed and how much was he compensated?

When will Feehan release any work products he produced on behalf of New Politics Leadership Academy, Leadership for Educational Equity, and the Center for a New American Security?
