"There is certainly no good reason to make it easier for members to get away with ethics violations, which only invites bad behavior," he added.

;“This is a big deal: when the new Congress convenes tomorrow, the incoming Republican majority is set to vote on a rules package gutting the Office of Congressional Ethics.;”“When Republicans tried to gut it in 2017, they backed down after significant public outrage. \n\nWe can do that again. \n\nCall your member of Congress at 202-224-3121 and tell them not to attack the Office of Congressional Ethics.
