All of this follows a NewsChannel 5 investigation in November 2023 that raised questions about Ogles’ claims to have personally loaned $320,000 to his campaign in 2022 during his first run for the 5th District congressional seat. Ogles’ personal financial disclosures did not reflect the ability to loan his campaign such a large amount.

This past May, Ogles amended his campaign financial reports, admitting that he had only loaned the campaign $20,000.

In August, following another report by NewsChannel 5 Investigates, Ogles acknowledged that FBI agents had executed a search warrant to seize his personal cell phone as part of some unspecified investigation.

      Ty, I appreciate that. I hate spamming people every morning, but I can’t time the posts and I don’t have the time to spread it out most of the time. Thanks for saying something, sometimes I think it might be annoying. I figure if it is, people will unsubscribe or block. At least I hope they’ll do that.

        You rock and I don’t think you need to worry about “spamming” people. You’re posting helpful news content at a time that is convenient for you - which is perfectly reasonable. Your time matters. Have a great day.
