Late Ogles filings show no 'pledged' cash, properties that don't align with county records

Clarksville, TNLocal News

U. S. Rep. Andy Ogles has filed his annual financial disclosures with the U. S.

House Clerk, doing so more than four months past the original deadline. The disclosures reveal a previously undisclosed First Horizon joint bank account valued between $50,000 and $100,000, alongside a line of credit and travel expenses funded by a campaign-supporting group. Notably, Ogles' investment property disclosures do not align with Maury County property records, raising questions about their accuracy. Ogles, who is seeking reelection after defeating GOP challenger Courtney Johnston, has faced scrutiny for inconsistencies in his financial reporting since being elected Maury County mayor in 2019. This latest filing corrects last year's disclosures and highlights a significant admission regarding over $300,000 he previously reported as cash, which he explained was a "pledge" that never materialized.

The new disclosures were submitted just before the expiration of a 30-day grace period, helping Ogles avoid a late filing fee. As the November election approaches, these financial discrepancies could significantly influence his campaign against Nashville Democrat Maryam Abolfazli. The ongoing scrutiny of Ogles’ financial practices reflects broader concerns about transparency and accountability among elected officials.
