==Presidential bid==
In 2007 the [[Federal Election Commission]] finally issued a draft report <ref>Agenda Document No. 07-37, Federal Election Commission, Washignton, D.C., May 21, 2007.</ref> [http://www.fec.gov/agenda/2007/mtgdoc07-37.pdf stating Kerry spent spent $1.4 million more than federal rules allowed during his 2004 Presidential bid. In order to receive the public funds, Kerry, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts, and his running mate, former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, agreed to spend $74.6 million or less on their general election campaign against President Bush. Kerry’s campaign may have to repay the overspending to the U.S. Treasury, since his unsuccessful general election campaign was funded by tax dollars. The draft audit also found the campaign’s media vendor improperly invested and earned interest on public funds. And auditors allege the campaign misreported its media buys and its outstanding debt. <ref>[http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0507/4244.html FEC draft: Kerry broke spending limits], Kenneth P.
