An Illinois man pleaded guilty Friday to the theft of more than $115,000 in campaign funds from the McSally for Senate Campaign in 2018 and 2019, according to officials.
According to court documents, Anthony Barry, 33, of Yorkville, served as a deputy campaign manager and consultant for former U.S. Senator Martha McSally.
Barry used his position in the campaign to fraudulently direct the campaign to make payments to him beyond what he was owed for his salary and had the fraudulently obtained funds deposited into his personal bank account.
Barry pleaded guilty to an information charging him with one count of unlawful conversion of campaign funds, officials stated.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 6, and faces a maximum term of five years in prison.
