Massachusetts AG Andrea Campbell Spent $300K on Travel and Parties

Ah, the joys of having a taxpayer-funded credit card – you know, the kind that allows you to spend the people's money and pass the monthly statement on to someone else. Those we elect and trust to spend our money wisely are issued government credit cards, but are they being used in the best interest of those who get stuck with the bill?

Breitbart recently reported that Massachusetts Attorney General, Democrat Andrea Campbell, "reportedly spent a mountain of taxpayer money last fiscal year on things such as worldwide travel."

Breitbart.com cited a Boston Herald report on X that claims Campbell "spent $300,000 on a taxpayer-funded credit card for trips to France, the Caribbean, and hosting a party."

What Did Andrea Campbell Spend Taxpayer Funds On?

The X post states, "Massachusetts AG Andrea Campbell spent nearly $300,000 on her taxpayer-funded credit card last fiscal year, with expenses ranging from traveling to France and a balmy Caribbean island to hosting an annual holiday party, a Herald analysis shows."

The Herald reported, "Campbell travelled to France last July to attend a conference alongside counterparts from across the nation, with the Bay State attorney general racking up about $13,627 on state-issued procurement cards during the trip."

Campbell's taxpayer-funded expenses reportedly included flights, transportation, and hotel charges, according to the Boston Herald report.

The trip was not without controversy.

Associated Press reported in August 2024, "About half the U.S. attorneys general traveled to France in a trip cosponsored by a group mostly funded by companies, including some under scrutiny of the top state lawyers."

Why the Spending Is Sparking Controversy

The Herald documented $1,220 charged to Campbell's card for providing food for a December holiday party and another $1,287 for a party in October.

The Breitbart story referred to the numerous lawsuits Campbell has filed against the Trump administration.
