McCoy McDeid had requested permission in May to use money she had raised for her race to pay for child care expenses while she campaigned.
State law says candidates can’t use campaign money for personal expenses. In Friday’s ruling, the ethics board said child care costs could be considered either personal or campaign expenses and that Iowa Legislature should clarify the law.
A family spokesman confirmed the diagnosis Tuesday.

The Tri-Center Trojans punched their ticket to the Class 1A State Baseball Tournament with a Substate 8 Final win over the CAM Cougars 8-3. Tri-Center returns to State after a one year absence and CAM falls just short of back to back appearances.
Tri-Center got to CAM Starting pitcher Thomas Hensley early with 2 runs on 3 hits in the 1st inning. CAM answered back to tie the game at 2 with 2 hits in the top of the 2nd. But Tri-Center went right back to work with 1 run on 2 hits in the 2nd and 4 runs on 5 hits in the third.
Hensley left after 2 1/3 innings and Nick Holste finished the game for CAM. By the time it was all said and done Tri-Center had 8 runs on 14 hits. CAM Head Coach Dan Daugherty gave Tri-Center a lot of credit for their strong offense.
Dan Kenealy was the winning pitcher for the Trojans going the distance allowing 3 runs on 5 hits with 6 strikeouts and 3 walks.
The Trojans improved to 21-2 on the season and will head to Principal Park in Des Moines next week for the State Tournament.
CAM ends their season at 20-8. The Cougars saw the end to two illustrious athletic careers for Thomas Hensley and Nick Holste. After the game Hensley looked back at his time as a Cougar.
Hensley spoke about what he wants his legacy to be and advice he would give to youngsters working to have success.
Coach Daugherty reflected on what Hensley and Holste have meant to the CAM program.
Atlantic saw the softball season end Tuesday afternoon with an 8-1 loss to Benton Community in the Class 3-A State Tourney in Fort Dodge. Playing less than 24 hours after a quarterfinal round loss to Humboldt, Atlantic could only muster 2 hits, singles by Alexis Handel and Olivia Engler, in the consolation round game.
Benton scored six runs in the third inning to take command, as the Trojans struggled defensively, committing six errors in the game. The miscues showed up in the pitching stats, as Atlantic’s Ally Anderson suffered the loss, giving up all eight runs, but only two were earned. Anderson allowed eight hits, struck out five and walked only one batter.
Atlantic finishes the season with a record of 30-7.
Class 1-A
