Carson Finance Chair Quits Campaign

Ben Carson’s national finance chairman resigned amid questions about his use of campaign funds and criticism from Carson allies and donors.

“Since he joined, some campaign insiders told Politico, Dean Parker’s operation has piled up unnecessary expenses and paid hefty consulting fees to an inexperienced staff. Parker recently began earning a $20,000 monthly salary, which veteran campaign operatives say is unusual for what is typically an unpaid, honorary role.”
