Davis employed Mike Gula who “set the Republican operative world ablaze” after leaving his fundraising firm to “capitalize on the coronavirus response”
Congressman Rodney Davis’ employment of Mike Gula – the fundraiser who “set the Republican operative world ablaze” after leaving his fundraising firm to “capitalize on the coronavirus response” – raises several questions:
- Will Davis call on Gula’s new company to be transparent in their procurement methods of PPE, as well as call on them to price the equipment fairly?
- Did Davis’ connections help procure the “rare” PPE that Gula’s company says they were able to get based on “relationships”?
- Will Davis disclose how much money Gula raised for his campaign?
- Will Davis return the money Gula fundraised for him?
“As thousands of Illinoisans grapple with the effects of coronavirus and frontline health care workers struggle to find enough proper PPE, Congressman Davis owes it to his constituents to return the money Gula raised for Davis’ campaign,” said DCCC Spokesperson Courtney Rice.
Reminder: The State Journal-Register reported this week that Congressman Davis’ campaign paid Gula “more than $300,000… since early last year” and more than $24,000 in February 2020 alone.
