A Democratic congressional candidate in Virginia has been indicted on charges of fraud, embezzlement, and theft for allegedly stealing government funds from a school nutrition program in 2012.
Shaun Brown, 58, denied any wrongdoing during her first appearance in a Norfolk courtroom last week and said after the hearing that she intends to fight the charges.

Prosecutors said Brown fraudulently obtained $803,000 of government funds through her nonprofit organization, which participated in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Summer Food Service Program. The organization worked with the USDA Summer Food Service Program to provide meals to low-income children on school breaks.

Brown allegedly got the money by filing fraudulent reimbursement claims with the Virginia Department of Health.

Prosecutors said Brown and other staff members of her nonprofit told employees to skew data, such as the number of meals provided to low-income children, so the nonprofit could cash in on the extra reimbursements from the government, the Washington Post reported.

Brown chalked off the “irregularities” in the data to problems with the program.

“I want the irregularities corrected,” she said. “I want to see the program improve.”

Brown and her mother, Jenever, who co-founded the nonprofit, filed a $10 million lawsuit against the USDA, the Virginia Department of Health, and others this month for allegedly discriminating against African-Americans, delaying payments, and falsifying reimbursements and claims.

Brown ran against Rep. Scott W. Taylor (R-VA) for Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District in 2016, but she lost to Taylor by 23 points.

Brown announced in July that she intends to launch another congressional bid for that seat in 2018.

According to court documents, Brown handled the day-to-day operations of Jobs Virginia Community Development Corporation, which served as a local sponsor and site coordinator in 2011 and 2012 for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program. The program, which has been administered locally by the Virginia Department of Health since 2011, provides meals to low-income children over the summer when they can’t get free food at school.

Two weeks ago, Brown and her mother filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Alexandria against the USDA, the Virginia Department of Health and several government employees.

The lawsuit, which seeks $10 million in damages, argued the government discriminated against the charity due to the race and political beliefs of the two founders. It used phrases like “racial profiling” and “hate crimes.”

The suit was filed without the assistance of an attorney. The two women asked the court last week to appoint an attorney to help them with their case, but a judge denied the request.

Color me astonished

I doubt that $800k in fraud is corrupt enough to swing the vote for her. She'll likely be relegated to the kiddie pool unless she can figure out how to meet Demonrat standards of corruption.

And......the Race Card has been played early, sure sign of guilt.

Ha. Somebody forgot to tell her one needs to be elected first before cheating the government in earnest.

The Hastings Rule. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em!

Wow, imagine the precedent if the judge did allow appointed help to file a lawsuit. Every "wronged" recipient of government aid would be filing. Ain't ya glad O'Bamma didn't think of this?


I want help suing Trader Joe. The cashier dissed me and grievously bruised my bag of apples because I did not become his instant friend and follow the fake conversation.
