The American Democracy Legal Fund has filed an ethics complaint against Bob Dold and 22 other Republicans for agreeing to provide details of their legislative strategies in exchange for “special attention” and “campaign cash” from the National Republican Campaign Committee.
The formal ethics complaint spells out how the “vulnerable Republican House Members are literally selling their legislative agendas to a political committee for campaign cash,” and states the intent of the contract is to “use the official resources available to [these Members] to coordinate…their legislative strategies…with the NRCC.”
Members of Congress are prohibited from using federal resources for campaign purposes. The ethics complaint can be accessed here.
