EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WRN) — The daughter of State Senator Jesse James of Altoona is facing charges for allegedly stealing from his campaign.
Online court records show 30-year-old Elizabeth Ann Johnson of Eau Claire faces felony counts of filing false campaign reports and theft from a business. Prosecutors accuse Johnson of taking 32-thousand dollars from Senator James’ campaign account in 2024 and spending that money on her own business. Police say Johnson admitted to the thefts and paid back the money.
She will be back in Eau Claire County Court for an initial appearance to the charges in May.
