BOSTON — A Massachusetts state representative has been arrested and charged with using thousands of dollars in campaign cash to fund personal expenses, officials announced Tuesday.
David Nangle, a Democrat who represents parts of Chelmsford and Lowell, faces charges including wire and bank fraud, according to court records.
A lawyer for Nangle didn’t immediately respond to an email.
Authorities say in court documents that Nangle was an extensive gambler who used campaign funds to cover golf club dues, rental cars to get to and from casinos and flowers for his girlfriend, among other things.
