A shocking new report from NBC News this morning reveals that Bob Casey’s family have spent decades getting rich off his Senate office. As NBC reports:
There’s a brother who registered to lobby for a semiconductor manufacturer soon after Casey supported a bill to expand opportunities for the industry. There’s another brother whose law partner helps Casey recommend federal judges and whose firm’s employees have donated more than $225,000 to Casey’s campaigns, according to Federal Election Commission documents. And there’s a sister whose printing company has received more than a half-million dollars’ worth of work from Casey’s campaigns, records show.
The Casey family’s roster of registered lobbyists, influence over his Senate office, and massive sums earned off his campaigns stand in stark contrast to Casey’s promises to clean up Washington when he was first elected.
NBC’s report is just the latest in a string of recent reporting uncovering Casey’s previously unreported controversial family ties and close relationship with registered lobbyists.
“Bob Casey promised to change Washington. Two decades later, it’s clear Washington has changed him. The Casey Cartel’s decades of graft and cynical self-dealing are catching up to them and voters don’t like what they see.” – NRSC Spokesman Philip Letsou
