TN: Congressman Andy Ogles amends financial disclosures following questions by NewsChannel 5
Congressman Andy Ogles amends financial disclosures following questions by NewsChannel 5

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Almost 10 months after NewsChannel 5 first raised questions about Andy Ogles' personal finances, the Republican congressman has amended his personal financial disclosures filed with the U.S. House of Representatives.
For the first time in disclosures submitted Friday, Ogles acknowledged the $700,000 line of credit discovered by NewsChannel 5 Investigates. Property records show the loan with FirstBank was taken out in 2022 with the Maury County Republican's in-laws co-signing.
In addition, Ogles disclosed a bank account with First Horizon Bank with assets in a broad category of $50,001-$100,000.
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.
