Ethics Panel Says Renacci May Have Campaigned With Taxpayer-Funded Resources

Independent ethics investigators say former Congressman Jim Renacci misused official resources for his campaigns for governor in 2017 and US Senator last year.

A video from “Fox and Friends” on January 12, 2018, is among the Renacci tweets that got Ohio Democratic Party chair David Pepper to ask the non-partisan Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate.

The office now says there’s substantial reason to believe that Renacci inappropriately used taxpayer funded resources to take videos and photos inside government buildings to promote his campaigns for governor and US Senator on social media. And the report says he continued to even after he and his staff were questioned about it.

But because Renacci is no longer in office, it’s unlikely he’ll be sanctioned.

That they can’t stop their grifting? Renacci was Ohio’s wealthiest Congress member. This is disgusting.
