In case you missed it, Rep. Rod Blum is now being investigated by the House Ethics Committee for his gross misuse of taxpayer resources to promote his shady internet company, Tin Moon. Blum was caught using his official office to promote his internet marketing firm that profits from burying damaging information online about companies with questionable practices, including FDA healthy and safety violations.
DCCC Spokesperson Rachel Irwin issued the following statement on the fall out Blum is facing:
“Vulnerable Rep. Rod Blum is now under investigation heading into the most challenging re-election of his career. Blum’s unhinged response doesn’t quell any doubts about this nonpartisan investigation into his gross misuse of taxpayer resources for his own financial gain.”
