Yet another corrupt House Democrat has been exposed and hit with an ethics complaint. This time it’s nut job Madeleine Dean from Pennsvania for violating federal election law and House ethics rules. Allegedly, Dean was caught using donations for a state race for her congressional race, which reportedly violates FEC contribution rules.

Before Dean became a member of Congress, she ran for lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania. APT contended in their complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) that the Pennsylvania Democrat continued to spend donations she received while running for lieutenant governor, which reportedly violates FEC donation standards.
APT also filed an ethics complaint against Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA), contending that the Georgia Democrat allegedly violated federal election law and House ethics rules by coordinating with the gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety.
The nonpartisan ethics watchdog contended that contributions to a state campaign are not subject to the same reporting contribution limits as federal contributions.
Adam Laxalt, an outside counsel for APT, told Breitbart News that allegedly misusing state contributions in this manner would allow Dean “in theory to raise millions of dollars outside the federal limits and just transfer over” to a congressional race.
“They’re illegal, and they clearly give her a competitive advantage in a congressional race,” the APT outside counsel added.
