Geee Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 TheHill: The House Ethics Committee announced Monday that it will formally investigate Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-Nev.) over allegations she violated House rules by using her position in Congress to benefit her husband’s medical practice. The decision could have serious repercussions for her Senate bid. She is challenging incumbent Dean Heller (R-Nev.), and Republicans have hammered her repeatedly on the issue. Polls have shown a close race in the important swing state, and the outcome of the race could determine which party controls the upper chamber next year. The allegations have battered her campaign against Heller, as American Crossroads, a GOP super-PAC, has sunk hundreds of thousands of dollars into attacks on Berkley’s ethical record, forcing her to air responsive ads in her defense. The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) promptly issued a statement on the investigation. “It speaks volumes that even Shelley Berkley’s Democrat colleagues unanimously voted to move forward investigating Berkley’s use of her office to enrich her and her husband," said NRSC executive director Rob Jesmer. "Since Berkley entered the political arena we’ve seen a long pattern of ethical questions surrounding her conduct. Nevadans deserve someone in the Senate who they can trust to work on their behalf and not someone — like Ms. Berkley — who puts her own financial and political interests first.” The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee reiterated its support for Berkley.
