Anderson| Anderson County Council Chairman Under Investigation.
In a Notice dated March 19, 2026 Robert "Tommy" Dunn is accused in Count One of the Complaint of not using a campaign bank account for $2305.39 spent at Minuteman Press during the 2024 Election Cycle. The Ethics Commission has scheduled a hearing for June 18, 2026 at 9:30 a.m.

This is direct violation of § 8-13-1312 of the South Carolina Code of Laws.

We reached out to many citizens of District 5. More than half of the people we talked to said they feel this money was not reported to hide where the money was donated from.
