Helena – The Commissioner of Political Practices has ruled that Democrat State Representative Zac Perry of Hungry Horse violated campaign finance regulations during his 2016 campaign.

On Tuesday, Commissioner of Political Practices Jeff Mangan issued a 13-page ruling that found Mr. Perry failed to properly disclose more than $6,500 in campaign expenditures, exceeded the maximum allowable gift limit to campaign staff, and improperly distributed surplus campaign funds.
