Blackburn did not disclose line of credit on South Carolina house, records show

U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn did not disclose taking out a $100,000 line of credit from a bank last year to cover the costs to repair a house she co-owns in South Carolina, according to her most recent financial disclosures.

And since buying the house in 2014, Blackburn has frequently failed to pay property taxes for the home on time, resulting in thousands of dollars in penalties, according to South Carolina property records.

On her latest House financial disclosure, Blackburn, who is the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate, did not disclose her involvement with Down Yonder Properties LLC — a company which owns a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Daufuske Island, South Carolina.

In previous years, she included the company on her disclosures, saying she was a “member” of the company, which is registered to a home in Nashville owned by Blackburn’s daughter, Mary, and son-in-law, Paul Ketchel.
