The last time Tulsi Gabbard ran for anything, she was still a Democrat.

Yet, nearly seven years after Gabbard won her last race for Congress in 2018, her congressional committee is still sitting on money — and the Federal Election Committee wants to know what she plans to do with it.

According to the most recent FEC filing for Tulsi for Hawai’i in July, the campaign committee has more than $105,000 in leftover cash. For the third year in a row, the FEC has sent a letter to her campaign committee questioning the excess funds.
