Latest: Stutzman repays funds for family's California trip

A spokesman for U.S. Senate candidate Marlin Stutzman says the Republican Indiana congressman repaid his campaign fund last week for expenses covering a family trip to California last summer.

Campaign manager Josh Kelley tells the Associated Press an attorney told Stutzman at the time of the trip that charging over $3,000 to the campaign account for airfare and a van rental was acceptable because the family attended a number of political functions.

Marlin Stutzman's Senate campaign says the Indiana congressman was conducting political work during a family trip to California that was billed in part to the campaign.

A Republican congressman running for Senate in Indiana billed his campaign more than $2,000 in airfare for his family's trip to the Ronald Reagan library in California, an apparent violation of federal election laws.
