NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WDEF)- A Tennessee election board has sided with a Hamilton County state representative in an election complaint case.
Representative Michele Reneau filed the complaint with the Tennessee Registry of Election Finance.
This is due to a series of political mailers that painted her as a conspiracy theorist during the 2024 elections.
These were funded by a political organization group called Citizen Engagement Forum.
The violation that Representative Reneau is alleging is that this group did not properly register to be a political action committee in the state of Tennessee.
She told the Election Registry that this case is important to maintain election integrity.
Rep. Reneau said, “What I would hope anyway is that, we want them to follow the rules. Particularly in this case there were a lot of untrue things said, and I know races can get ugly, but I would just like folks to follow protocols so we know who is spending money.”
Citizen Engagement Forum proposed a $2,500 settlement to end the case.
The Election Registry rejected that settlement, and the case is still pending.
