Nature of the Review¶

Rep. Huizenga's campaign committee, Huizenga for Congress ("Campaign Committee"), may have accepted contributions from individuals employed in Rep. Huizenga's congressional office. If Rep. Huizenga failed to ensure that his campaign committee complied with applicable rules, regarding contributions from congressional employees, then he may have violated House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law.

The Campaign Committee reported campaign disbursements that may not be legitimate and verifiable campaign expenditures attributable to bona fide campaign or political purposes. If Rep. Huizenga converted campaign funds from the Campaign Committee to personal use, or if Rep. Huizenga's Campaign Committee expended funds that were not attributable to bona fide campaign or political purposes, then Rep. Huizenga may have violated House rules, standards of conduct, and fedteral law.
