Georgia Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock's campaign funneled over $60,000 in donor campaign funds to pay for items listed as "childcare," according to Federal Election Commission filings.

Senator Warnock's campaign, Warnock for Georgia, diverted $61,959.40 from 2020 to 2022 to cover expenses related to "childcare."

Of the 33 listed payments, only one of those was described as "childcare expenses (campaign related)," and the remainder were listed as only "childcare." 

The majority of the payments went to specific providers and nannies; however, one payment – the largest single disbursement totaling $11,847.40 – went directly to Senator Warnock for "childcare reimbursement."
