Sean Casten votes to give $5 million to…himself?

Today, Sean Casten and his fellow Democrats passed H.R. 1, their first major legislation of the new Congress. So, what was their top priority? Job creation? Veterans? The economy? No! The first major program passed by House Democrats primarily benefits…House Democrats.

H.R. 1 would funnel up to $5 million to Sean Casten and other socialist Democrats’ campaign accounts, forcing the American public to foot the bill for Casten’s TV ads, fundraisers, mail to voters and even his personal expenses. The bill is so extreme that it was even opposed by the liberal ACLU which warned it would “unconstitutionally infringe the freedoms of speech and association.”

NRCC Comment: “Sean Casten promised to work for Illinoisans, but today’s vote shows he’s only working for himself. By voting to funnel public funds to his campaign, Casten’s proven he’s right at home in the swamp.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Carly Atchison
