Newly elected Dearborn Heights mayor faces fees for late campaign finance reports
Newly elected Dearborn Heights Mayor Mo Baydoun faces at least $500 in fines for not yet filing two previously due campaign finance reports, according to Wayne County records.
A letter sent to Baydoun Oct. 2 notified him of a $500 fine assessed for failing to file his post-primary campaign finance report, which was due Sept. 4. The letter was signed by Amirah Jackson-Barrett, Wayne County's campaign finance manager.
He received another notice on Oct. 27 for not filing a pre-general election campaign finance statement by Oct. 24. Baydoun received a previous notice of failing to file a post-primary campaign finance statement, dated Sept. 5. The letter said the fee is $25 for each business day the report is not filed, up to $500.
Baydoun served as City Council chair until his appointment as acting mayor in October, when former Mayor Bill Bazzi resigned to serve as the U.S. ambassador to Tunisia. Voters elected Baydoun to a four-year term in last week's election, over Councilwoman Denise Malinowski Maxwell.
