These 4 Dems sent millions in earmarks to their spouses' employers
Fox News
At least four Democrats have sponsored millions in federal spending for organizations that employed their spouses over the last two years, according to a new report.
The findings reportedly came from more than 1,000 pages of congressional appropriations records as part of an analysis comparing congressional records that identify sponsors of earmarks with the personal financial disclosure forms filed by lawmakers. The financial disclosure forms require lawmakers to identify sources of income for themselves and their spouses. Aaron Kliegman is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
Kaine sponsored two earmarks totaling nearly $3.5 million for George Mason University, where his wife, former Virginia Secretary of Education Anne Holton, worked as interim president from 2019-20. Holton is currently a professor in the university's Schar School of Policy and Government and its College of Education and Human Development.
