Atlanta Unfiltered

State Rep. Pam Stephenson has failed to report more than $27,000 in political donations from special-interest groups since 2003, records show.

A pending state ethics complaint alleges the DeKalb County Democrat apparently failed to disclose about $20,000 in contributions.

The complaint did not specify the source of the donations. But a records search by AtlantaUnfiltered turned up $27,437 that donors said they gave her but that her campaign has not disclosed.

About $10,000 of the unreported donations occurred in the second quarters of 2006 and 2008. For both periods, Stephenson reported no contributions.

The State Ethics Commission has not scheduled a hearing on Stephenson’s case.

Georgia’s Ethics in Government Act requires that candidates for elective office report every campaign contribution of $101 or more. Each violation can incur a $1,000 fine.
