GOP Lawmaker Used Campaign Funds for Family Vacations

Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV) “spent thousands of campaign dollars on personal expenses, including numerous fast food meals and family excursions to West Virginia resorts, while failing to properly report more than $40,000 in expenditures,” Roll Call reports.

“It is unclear what the House Ethics Committee will do to discipline Mooney, if anything. Sanctions could range from no punishment to a recommendation that the full House vote for expulsion, the latter of which is unlikely.”
