According to the Virginia Public Access Project, Jackson’s campaign submitted a corrected report on Friday. The new report included 23 donors who weren’t originally included on the form filed on the July 15 deadline.

Jackson reported a total of $118,608 in campaign contributions from May 30 to June 30, but at the top of the itemized list of donors was a contribution of $48,155 from his own political action committee. Jackson was given time to submit a report with the donors for the amount properly listed.

The amended report listed total donations of $141,823, an increase from the $118,608 originally reported. The campaign also reported new expenses of $92,398, up from $66,412.
