National Journal Hotline reports that Tom Barrett has been soliciting donations using reports about his campaign funneling $50,000+ to firms his wife works for – after she came on board.
This comes after further reporting found that the NRCC and Michigan 7th District Republicans also paid the law firm for the first time after her hiring.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith: “Will Tom Barrett be directing the proceeds of this fundraising email to the firms his wife works for? Michiganders deserve to know.”In case you missed it:
Politico: “ALL IN THE FAMILY: Rep. Tom Barrett’s (R-Mich.) campaign and affiliated committees have paid two firms his wife works for more than $50,000 for political work over the last two cycles, Morning Score reports.”
