According to expense reports, last year, Rep. Rod Blum, from Iowa’s First Congressional District, spent about a third of that budget– more than $400,000– sending mailers and mass communications. That’s more than anyone else in the U.S. House.
“He ought to be ashamed of himself,” said Monica Vernon, a former Cedar Rapids City Council member. “This is the people’s money.”
Both are brightly colored. One has phrases like, “UNWAVERING LEADERSHIP” and “Keeping America Safe” on the front. Inside, it features quotes from the congressman.
Blum won’t have it easy. The First District is a mix of Republicans and Democrats.
The congressman is a first-term incumbent. Hagle says right now, Blum is at his most vulnerable.
