The Nebraska Democratic Party requests that the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) investigate Rep. Don Bacon for the misuse of official resources. <\/span><\/p>\n

Rep. Bacon has used his official Twitter account to further his campaign and attack political opponents repeatedly. On November 18, 2017, a tweet from Rep. Bacon\u2019s official Twitter handle called for the elections of state and local officials who prioritize lower taxes. The tweet also included a critique of Brad Ashford\u2019s policy platform. <\/span><\/p>\n

On January 22, 2018, Rep. Bacon attacked opponent Brad Ashford by sharing a conservative newspaper article alleging that Ashford missed congressional committee hearings and saying \u201c[u]nlike my predecessor I try best to never miss committee hearings.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The House Ethics Manual specifies that \u201cofficial resources of the House \u2026 may <\/span>not<\/span><\/i> be used for campaign purposes.\u201d These resources include any goods and services paid for using federally appropriated funds. Members\u2019 official Twitter accounts are supported by federally-appropriated funds and maintained by staffers who are also supported by official funds. Rep. Bacon\u2019s disregard for House ethics detracts from the prestige of his position. <\/span><\/p>\n

Through his actions, Rep. Bacon has undermined the credibility of the House of Representatives. His blatant misuse of resources does not represent the values of the Nebraska families that Bacon is supposed to be representing. <\/span><\/p>\n
