The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust said the Democrats "Repeatedly" used official resources for political gain, according to a news release on its website, naming Democratic Reps.
Although Democratic Rep. Ayanna Presley of Massachusetts was not mentioned in the release, exhibits of her allegedly using official resources for political gain were included in the examples filed with the complaint.
"The law at issue is simple," the release said, noting that government resources cannot be used for "Campaign or political purposes." The release said that "Official House photographs and video, government buildings, a Member's official website and social media accounts, and anything created by government employees" are considered off-limits.
"Currently, numerous Members are using official House resources for political purposes and are doing so both repeatedly and publicly," FACT wrote in a letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics.
"The law quite clearly forbids this, yet a handful of Members continue to do so. The most obvious violations are Members using official government resources to campaign on their political social media accounts or using official government platforms to campaign," the letter said.
"In fact, these Members' campaign social media accounts demonstrate that they consistently use official resources for political purposes and have used numerous different types of taxpayer-funded resources for their political campaigns," the complaint said.
"For instance, the examples previously provided to the OCE and the attached examples include every type of official resource identified above: use of official House photographs, official House floor and committee proceeding videos, official House work product and press releases, government buildings, and re-posts of official House social media accounts for political purposes," the letter said.
