"Mean Jean" Schmidt Votes Against Ethics Reform (Reprimanded in '06 for False Statements)

Schmidt Votes Against Ethics Reform

Washington � On Tuesday the House passed Resolution 895 to create the Office of Congressional Ethics. This new six-person board would take new steps to eliminate corruption among Members of Congress. The board would introduce and review ethical complaints brought against Members and determine which cases move forward to the Ethics Committee for final review and disciplinary actions.

Representative Jean Schmidt voted against the bill. In 2006 Schmidt was reprimanded by the Ohio Elections Commission for making false statements about her education and endorsements. Last fall, Jean Schmidt was accused of earmarking funds that benefited a contributor to her campaign.

�Jean would rather play politics than focus on ending corruption in Washington,� said Dr. Victoria Wulsin, who is running for Congress this fall against Schmidt. �Our government needs to recapture the trust and confidence of the American people. We need to put their interests first and not let politics stand in the way of accomplishing what is right."

Kind Regards,

Ann Herzner
Communications Director
Wulsin for Congress
