Axne hit with ethics complaint by liberal group

The liberal group “Campaign Legal Center” is requesting an ethics investigation into Rep. Cindy Axne for failing to report stock trades on her personal financial disclosure.

From the CLC’s complaint: “Campaign Legal Center (“CLC”) respectfully requests that the Office of Congressional Ethics (“OCE”) investigate Rep. Cynthia (“Cindy”) Axne for a possible violation of the STOCK Act and House rules. In 2019 and 2020, Rep. Axne appears to have purchased and sold more than 40 assets with a total value ranging from approximately $43,043 to $645,000 without disclosing the transactions… If so, Rep. Axne would have been required to file PTRs pursuant to the STOCK Act and House rules.”

NRCC Comment: “Iowans will hold Cindy Axne accountable for breaking the law and trying to hide her shady stock transactions from the public.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Berg
