This may indicate the platform's data is incomplete — or it may indicate a real enforcement gap. Either way, it's worth a closer look.

[disclosure] The Louisiana Board of Ethics fined Fields $2,500 for failing to file a required campaign finance report for an account from his Public Service Commission run more than 20 years prior. This followed a 1997 incident in which FBI surveillance footage showed Fields accepting a large sum of cash from former Governor Edwin Edwards, who was later convicted on corruption charges.
