The office faced newly-enacted arbitrary terms limits that disqualified several sitting Democratic board members and outrageously tight deadlines to replace them and hire staff. Thanks to Minority Leader Jeffries, and his swift appointments of new board members overcoming the GOP effort to gut the OCE, the office is on its way back to holding our representatives accountable.\r\n\r\nIt is outrageous and telling that Speaker McCarthy attempted to gut ethics enforcement when he is refusing to expel Rep. George Santos (R-NY), who lied blatantly to voters about his biography in order to win office and is currently facing international, federal, and state investigations. Polling shows that <a href=\"https:\/\/scri.siena.edu\/2023\/01\/31\/ny-3-voters-say-santos-should-resign-78-13-including-71-of-reps\/\">78% of voters<\/a> in Santos\u2019 district want Santos to resign, yet Speaker McCarthy continues to ignore the public outrage.\r\n\r\nAmericans expect and deserve accountability from their elected representatives in Washington, and the House Ethics Committee has repeatedly proven itself not up to the task. That is why Common Cause <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/es\/press-release\/los-republicanos-del-congreso-consideran-como-prioridad-numero-uno-el-desmantelamiento-de-la-oficina-de-etica\/\">condemned<\/a> the House rules changes targeting the independent Office of Congressional Ethics when they were passed and joined with more than two dozen other groups to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/25-Groups-Urge-OCE-to-be-Strengthened-Codified-into-Law.pdf\">urge Congress to make the office permanent<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThis is not the first attempt to do away with the Office of Congressional Ethics, and it will not be the last until it is codified into law."}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
