  • Public records show the councilor's campaign committee received nearly 70 audit letters and reviews in her file seeking documentation of financial transactions since 2021, far more than is typical.

Tania Fernandes Anderson, a Boston City Councilor, is currently under scrutiny for potential campaign finance violations. The Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF) has initiated a review of her campaign expenditures, focusing on payments made to her sister and niece, which might violate state laws prohibiting the use of campaign funds for personal expenses. Additionally, Anderson faces an audit from the city's Election Department concerning her campaign's financial practices. This comes after she was previously fined $5,400 for late filings and other campaign finance issues. Anderson has acknowledged the need for better financial management and has hired a new campaign treasurer to address these concerns. The OCPF's review is still in its early stages, with no formal findings yet, but it underscores the ongoing challenges Anderson faces in managing her campaign finances.
