Culberson Bought Memorabilia with Campaign Funds

“Texas Democrats targeting Rep. John Culberson (R-TX) in Houston are challenging nearly $50,000 in campaign spending since 2004 on books, coins, Civil War memorabilia and other collectibles, some reported as ‘donor gifts’,” the Houston Chronicle reports.

“Draft copies of complaints to the Federal Election Commission and the independent Office of Congressional Ethics question the expenses in light of Culberson’s personal interest in military history.”
