Former Rep. Bobby Rush has paid hundreds of thousands of dollars through the years in campaign funds to his family, often raising concerns among watchdog groups and campaign finance lawyers. Just before his retirement, Rush's campaign sent another $900 to his wife, church minister Paulette Holloway Rush, for"accounting services," according to Federal Election Commission filings.
During the 2022 election cycle, the then-congressman's campaign handed $13,500 to his wife for"accounting services," filings show. She also received $300 in March 2020 for"field services," which typically constitute campaign duties such as door knocking, and reimbursements totaling over $2,200. "With payments to family members this can be difficult to determine because, unlike payments to others, there may be incentive to pay a family member more or pay them for work that is not needed," Kendra Arnold, executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, an ethics watchdog, told the Washington Examiner."This makes it difficult for the public to determine whether the payments complied with the law.
