WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Thursday officially reprimanded California Democrat Laura Richardson for forcing her congressional staff to do campaign work and violating codes of conduct for government service.

The reprimand came with a $10,000 fine and was another blow to the three-term lawmaker’s uphill re-election race against fellow Democrat Rep. Janice Hahn.
