The daughter of Wisconsin State Senator Jesse James is taking a plea deal.
James’ 31-year-old daughter, Elizabeth Johnson, had been accused of stealing more than 30-thousand dollars from the senator’s campaign. She was charged earlier this year but has now pleaded no contest to charges of theft in a business setting and filing false campaign finance reports. She will now enter a 36-month diversion program. Senator James represents the state’s 23rd Senate district — a district that includes Barron, Clark, Price, Rusk, and Taylor Counties and portions of Chippewa, Dunn and Marathon Counties.
