Ross Spano (R-FL) goes to Washington ... under a cloud of controversy
Ross Spano goes to Washington … under a cloud of controversyTampa Bay Times, 1/4/2019
Like most new members of Congress, Ross Spano was sworn in Thursday and cast a vote for the next Speaker of the House.
Unlike those new members, though, Spano is already under a cloud of controversy. The Dover Republican is potentially facing multiple investigations for questionable donations to his campaign and failure to disclose his assets according to federal law.
Another potential violation popped up two days after Christmas, when the Federal Election Commission in a letter flagged $75,000 of Spano's campaign contributions for not fully disclosing the donor.
However, it could be months before the public learns the extent to which Spano may be in hot water. One body likely probing Spano's campaign activity, the Federal Election Commission, keeps its investigations confidential until they're resolved.
