Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, a self-described fiscal conservative who calls debt the greatest threat to our national security, has more than $300,000 in unpaid bills from his failed presidential run last winter.
Rand Paul for President reported $301,108 in debts and $2,558 in cash on hand as of June 30 in its most recent filing to the Federal Election Commission. The campaign owes dozens of businesses and individuals in Iowa, New Hampshire and elsewhere, for rent, insurance, telemarketing, phone and internet access, legal fees, consulting, facility and equipment rental and expense reimbursements promised to campaign workers.
Peter Kutrumanes said his company just wont do business with Paul again in the future.
