State Rep. Chynah Tyler has agreed to pay Massachusetts $6,000 after campaign finance officials found that she spent campaign committee funds on personal expenses ranging from a salon visit to food orders, medical prescriptions, and more.

The Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF) found that the Roxbury Democrat spent a total of $5,664.61 on personal expenses, according to a Jan. 5 disposition agreement. In addition, through its own review, the committee identified another $827 in erroneous personal expenditures, which it has paid back.

An audit conducted by OCPF investigators found Tyler spent the improperly-used funds on a number of different items between April and June, including $223 at Aicha’s African Hair Braiding Salon in Boston on June 9, $67.62 on Uber Eats, $100 in AAA membership dues, and another $19.07 at a Shell gas station in Boston.

OCPF also found that Tyler’s campaign committee violated another section of campaign finance law when it accepted contributions from three individuals in 2024 that exceeded the $1,000 limit.

The committee also did not file timely deposit reports in 2024 to disclose $13,770.78 in contributor information and failed to clarify its expenditures in 2024 and 2025 in a timely manner.

Another audit, marked as “outstanding” on Tyler’s OCPF page, shows she illegally withdrew a total of $6,700 in cash withdrawals or bank checks in February 2025.

“Cash withdrawals and bank checks are prohibited from your campaign account. Please clarify the vendor and/or purpose for which the bank check or cash was used. In the future, please refrain from using a bank check or withdrawing cash,” OCPF Auditor McKayla Steineke wrote in the report sent to the committee on April 29.

In a response included in the disposition agreement, Tyler cited the birth of her child in early 2025 as something that impacted her ability to oversee campaign finance activities.

“I gave birth in Winter 2025 and experienced limited mobility during that time, which impacted my ability to personally oversee certain campaign finance activities. During this period, I continued to meet with constituents, community leaders and other qualified professionals,” Tyler wrote.

Tyler went on in her response to provide explanations for each of the violations OCPF auditors noted in the disposition. When it comes to spending campaign funds for personal use and illegal withdrawals from the committee’s account, Tyler said she worked with the committee to correct all errors identified in the report.

“Personal Use: OCPF identified personal expenses that were made in error. We corrected these errors by personally reimbursing the committee to ensure full compliance. Unauthorized Withdrawal from Bank Account: We took appropriate action to comply with all requirements to ensure transparency and compliance,” Tyler said.
