Robin Wright-Jones was fined $271,580 in 2013 for violations of Missouri law that bars candidates from converting campaign funds to personal use. The fine was for failure to accurately report contributions, failure to report expenditures, improperly reporting consulting fees and cash expenditures. This fine was later reduced to $229,964.

Wright-Jones appealed and in February 2018 the Missouri Supreme Court upheld the state ethics commission's judgment against her.
