I think if he wrongly spent campaign funds he should pay them back. Then I would challenge these same people to look into the other candidates across the nation to see how they spent their campaign funds. I bet there is a lot of this "Misuse" of campaign funds going on all over the States.
I think we have to inject a little bit of reality into this. If he spent a few hundred bucks on an election night party and that isn't allowed, then make him pay it back, much as KN said. And again echoing KN, let's see how many of the other Representatives and Senators did something similar. I mean, there are 535 of them and I bet a fair number on both sides of the aisle made this innocent mistake.
