Rep. George Santos reimbursed donors for more donations than he received in the first three months of 2023, according to his latest financial disclosure.
The embattled New York Republican raked in $5,333 in from January 1-March 31, while he returned $8,353 in individual donations. He has $25,096 on hand.
Santos filed paperwork to run for reelection in 2024, but has not made an official announcement yet. Earlier this month, Republican Kellen Curry, an Afghanistan war veteran and former JP Morgan Vice President, announced he is running for the GOP nomination in New York's 3rd District. Some House Republicans and prominent Republicans in Santos' Long Island district have publicly called for him to resign, although he has rebuffed those calls.

Matt Gaetz is meeting with senators on Capitol Hill on Wednesday as he seeks to shore up support for his nomination for attorney general amid calls for the House Ethics Committee to release a report on allegations he engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.
