Reminder: Barrett Still Dodging Questions about Breaking Anti-Corruption Laws

Oct 05, 2022

It’s been two weeks since End Citizens United filed an FEC complaint calling for an investigation into Tom Barrett for using $40,000 from his state campaign account for his congressional campaign, and ten days since he dodged questions about the complaint in his first debate.

Here’s what Tom Barrett still won’t tell us:

  • He won’t give an explanation about the merits of the complaint, instead resorting to ad hominem attacks.

  • He’s provided no proof that the $40,000 wasn’t spent on his congressional campaign.

  • He won’t explain why he continued to supposedly pay for “redistricting consulting” from his state Senate account, despite already deciding to run for a different office.

With another debate in Michigan’s 7th district only a day away and the election only a month away, voters deserve to know the truth from Tom Barrett and he needs to be held accountable.
