Alderwoman Fined for Campaign Finance Errors | St. Louis News

Pine Lawn alderwoman Lisa Williams is paying the price for campaign finance oversights — slapped with a $13,205 fine by Missouri ethics regulators after failing to properly report her 2022 state House campaign finances. She admits to mistakes, including ineligible donors and missed deadlines — one report was 10 days late in early 2023 — and even overlooked $10K in her own campaign contributions. Though she insists there was no intent to deceive, just a lack of knowledge, the commission says the errors are serious enough to warrant the penalty. Williams has accepted the findings, agreed to pay, and must now file all missing reports — and she’s surprised by the hefty bill she didn’t even know she owed.
