Braun's current campaign treasurer, Thomas Datwyler, issued a statement saying the errors "were primarily due to the oversight of our former treasurer, Travis Kabrick."

Braun spokesperson Josh Kelley said Datwyler is exploring options to pay the fine "in light of Mr. Kabrick’s errors."

A phone number for Kabrick could not be found and he could not be reached for comment.
