Congressman spent $9,000 from campaign funds on donor's wedding

[chanel]

A three-night stay at a five-star hotel in Edinburgh, Scotland, for a wedding: $7,725.

A set of china from Bloomingdale’s for the bride and groom: $463.

Cab rides, meals, tips and airline baggage fees: $953.

Expensing it to your campaign account: Priceless.

But the Edinburgh trip is just one of many instances in which the South Jersey congressman — who together with his wife earned more than $500,000 in 2010 — mixed personal and political expenses in an unorthodox way.

Also in June, Andrews’ campaign spent more than $10,000 on a party at his Haddon Heights home to celebrate his 20 years in Congress and his daughter’s high school graduation. And his campaign has made tens of thousands of dollars in donations to Philadelphia theaters — sometimes within months of another daughter appearing in one of their productions.

In February, Andrews’ campaign made a $12,500 donation for the Walnut Street Theater in Philadelphia for its gala. Andrews’ wife Camille sits on the board of trustees, and Josie is listed on the theater’s website as a performer in the gala, which was held in May.

Andrews also frequently visits California, as well as other states, where he holds fundraising events. According to her biography on the Internet Movie Database, Josie also flies frequently between the East Coast and Los Angeles, "pursuing her dream of becoming a pop star and actress."

Andrews said he sometimes brings his daughter on those visits when they coincide with auditions and other activities related to her show business career

Andrews sits in one of the state’s safest Democratic districts, which includes parts of Camden, Gloucester and Burlington counties, allowing him win re-election by large margins.
