Rep. Nick LaLota (R-NY) “starred last month in a slick promotional video for a cancer treatment practice around the same time he took in a generous batch of campaign donations from its doctors,” Politico reports.
“LaLota began receiving individual contributions from the for-profit medical group’s executives in May after he introduced oncologist David Eagle to his House Small Business Committee so the doctor could testify about regulatory burdens.”
