House Ethics Committee members should investigate whether Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-Ore.) violated congressional rules against using tax-paid official resources in his reelection campaign, according to a private watchdog group.

The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) filed a complaint with the committee on March 25 alleging that at least two of Schrader’s recent campaign advertisements use official press releases issued by his Washington staff.
