$110,000 missing from DC councilmember's campaign

WASHINGTON (AP) — More than $110,000 has gone missing from the campaign account of D.C. Councilmember Michael A. Brown, forcing the at-large independent to start from scratch in his bid for a second term.

Brown reported the money missing in June. But he declined to disclose the dollar amount until Monday night, when he filed amended campaign finance reports. The reports detailed $113,950 in “unexplained expenditures” to Hakim Sutton, Brown’s former campaign treasurer, who was fired after the discovery that the money was missing.
