by Eli Motycka, Nashville Scene, Oct 16, 2025- An Oct. 15 quarterly report from Republican U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles shows mounting debt and weak fundraising just when his reelection bid needs a boost.
Ogles reported $57,916 on hand against $70,368 in campaign debt ($20,000 of which is a personal loan, while Ogles owes the rest to firm Holtzman Vogel) through Sept. 30. Columbia Mayor Chaz Molder, a Democrat, and Tennessee Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatch, a Republican, are both launching bids to unseat Ogles, a Trump acolyte who has held the 5th Congressional District seat since 2023.
Legitimate challengers in the primary and general ensure a daunting and expensive year for Ogles....Ogles raised roughly $39,000 this quarter from donors and another $25,500 from PACs ...The Ogles campaign spent $57,507 between July 1 and Sept. 30. Almost $50,000 went toward GOP political consultants, some of which may be pass-throughs for direct ad buys. Other various expenses include Ogles’ 21 Uber rides, nearly $700 in Chipotle receipts and a $2,227 bill at D.C.’s ritzy Capitol Hill Club. (read more)
