Fox News
A purported "slush fund" that pays out large sums to presidential candidates is the Presidents Day target of Sen. Joni Ernst through the ELECT Act.
"This Presidents Day I am fighting for the integrity of the office because the last thing we need to spend tax dollars on is more political attack ads," said Ernst, R-Iowa. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"There is no better way to pay down the $36 trillion debt than by defunding welfare for politicians. Washington should be working to benefit all Americans instead of itself." He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
