	&lt;div class=&quot;field-item&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Investigators said Tuesday that Rep. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ncleg.net/gascripts/members/viewMember.pl?sChamber=House&amp;amp;nUserID=109&quot;&gt;Thomas Wright&lt;/a&gt; spent &lt;a href=&quot;/blogs/wrights_troubles&quot;&gt;campaign money&lt;/a&gt; on personal items.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Among the stores he was alleged to have spent the money, one stood out: &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria&#039;s_Secret&quot;&gt;Victoria&amp;#39;s Secret&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Elections officials were reluctant to release more details, but they did say that records show at least three payments from accounts with campaign money in them at the lingerie retailer. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In August 2001, Wright spent $413.91. In January 2002, there was a $28 bill. And then, two days before Christmas in 2002, Wright spent $105.44 in campaign money. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No details were released on what was purchased or at which store he shopped. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
