The Tennessee Registry of Election Finance has unanimously recommended an audit of Gary Humble's state Senate campaign to see if there was improper coordination between Humble and the nonprofit issue advocacy group Tennessee Stands, the Tennessean reports. Humble, who lost a close race to Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson, R-Franklin, in the August Republican primary, is executive director of the group. Tom Lawless, a registry board member, said Tennessee Stands may have held events and promoted Humble's campaign without disclosing that spending to the registry. Another complaint alleged the group failed to disclose who paid for a campaign mailer.
