House ethics panel reviews complaint over GOP Rep. Bill Huizenga's campaign spending

The House Ethics Committee is reviewing allegations that Rep. Bill Huizenga misused marketing campaign funds, however the Michigan Republican is dismissing the case as a partisan stunt.

Michigan Democrats filed a grievance with the Federal Election Commission last fall claiming Huizenga and his household improperly spent hundreds of dollars in campaign funds, along with incorrectly itemizing reimbursements.

The FEC rejected the Democratic grievance, but apparently the unbiased Office of Congressional Ethics moved ahead on the concern and advisable that the House Ethics Committee look into the matter.

Huizenga's office stated the Michigan Republican cooperated with the OCE probe; his aides insist Huizenga's reelection marketing campaign is in compliance with FEC guidelines on marketing campaign disbursements and reporting.

"We are aware of the committee’s release. We now have cooperated absolutely on this process and can continue to do so," stated Brian Patrick, Huizenga's communications director. "This matter is the continuation of a partisan and politically motivated grievance filed by the Michigan Democratic Get together prior to the 2018 election that has already been resolved by the Federal Election Commission.”

The Home Ethics panel may have another 45 days following Monday's announcement to assessment the OCE suggestion. If Ethics takes up the case at that time, the complete OCE report will probably be released. Nevertheless, there isn't a ultimate deadline for Ethics Committee action.
