Washington- The four Iowans serving in the US House of Representatives voted to expel George Santos, the now former New York Congressman, who has been accused of using campaign funds for personal expenses and making tens of thousands of dollars in unauthorized purchases on donor’s credit cards.
Radio Iowa reports that First District Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks says a recent House Ethics Committee report documented considerable evidence that Santos had engaged in criminal activity.
Second District Congresswoman Ashley Hinson says Santos is unfit to serve in Congress and he should deal with his legal challenges as a private citizen.
Third District Congressman Zach Nunn says Santos has repeatedly proven he’s a con man and Nunn is planning to sponsor legislation that would deny government pensions to expelled members of Congress.
Fourth District Congressman Randy Feenstra says Santos has proven his ethics do not align with what is expected from elected leaders.
