Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce (OH-15) is in the news. The Los Angeles Times has the story:
From the Oval Office to Capitol Hill, prominent Republicans scrambled today to rid themselves of campaign contributions from disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, as his guilty pleas in fraud and corruption cases opened a painful debate within the party over its leadership and direction.
President Bush, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas, his temporary successor in that post, Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri, and Rep. Deborah Pryce of Ohio, the fourth-ranking House Republican, joined a list of nearly two dozen lawmakers who have returned or donated to charities the money Abramoff and his clients gave them during his decade as an influential mover-and-shaker on Capitol Hill.
If Abramoff had not been caught, would Pryce and other Republicans have kept the money???? Just asking.
I also found this bit of information at the DAILY DELAY: Records compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics and Federal Elections Commission show Pryce’s political action "leadership" committee and her re-election committee spent more than $13,000 at Signatures during the past few years, including $2,392 for a fundraiser in May (2005).
Nice job, Deb!
