Rep. Ronny Jackson, who has quite a history of dubious behavior, is under investigation for using campaign funds for an expensive private club membership in a potential violation of campaign finance rules, according to reports released Monday by Congressional investigators. The House Ethics Committee voted unanimously to continue a two-month-old probe into Jackson's conduct. And it's not just the Texas Republican, but Rep. Wesley Hunt, too, who used campaign funds at a private club. I'm starting to sense a pattern here.
The Texas Tribune reports:
Jackson spent nearly $12,000 since 2020 on membership at the Tony Amarillo Club, and Hunt spent over $74,000 between April 2022 and January 2024 at the Post Oak Hotel, including membership fees at its exclusive Oak Room club, according to the reports. Federal campaign finance rules allow campaign funds for specific events at private clubs, but not typically for membership or unlimited access.
