An ethics watchdog group filed a complaint against Rep. Haley Stevens, a Michigan Democrat, in response to a campaign email Stevens sent that includes a photo of her speaking on the House floor.

“The ethics rules explicitly prohibit members from using House floor photographs for campaign purposes and from soliciting campaign contributions tied to votes,” said Kendra Arnold, executive director of Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust. “It is important these laws are followed and enforced to protect taxpayers and ensure every vote is taken on its merit and not for political gain.”
