Briefing
The Office of Congressional Ethics reviewed Rep. Wesley Hunt’s campaign committee, Hunt for Congress, and found substantial reason to believe the campaign converted funds to personal use or made expenditures not attributable to bona fide campaign or political purposes. The OCE identified payments to the Oak Room at the Post Oak Hotel, including membership fees and large catering/facility charges, and reported the committee spent $74,525.60 at the Post Oak Hotel between April 2022 and January 2024. The Board recommended the House Committee on Ethics further review the matter and issue subpoenas to obtain testimony and records.
