With a week to go before the special primary election for Ohio's 11th Congressional District, Democratic candidate Shontel Brown may be in hot water.
In April, The Intercept reported that Brown, a Cuyahoga County Councilmember, had voted to award millions worth of contracts to companies connected to her romantic partner and campaign donors. Emails reviewed by The Daily Poster show that the Ohio state auditor's office reviewed the allegations in the article and recently referred the matter to the state ethics commission.
Under Ohio law, public officials are prohibited from knowingly authorizing or using their authority or influence "to secure authorization of any public contract in which the public official, a member of the public official's family, or any of the public official's business associates has an interest." Violation of the statute is a felony, and penalties can include prison time.

Why aren’t the Senators and COngressmen from Ohio also under Investigation, they do this every day, and they are Ohio Residents
the Ohio state auditor’s office reviewed the allegations in the article and recently referred the matter to the state ethics commission.

Why not the AG’s office, can the ethics commission prosecute felonies?
Shontel?
Yeah, the 11th is a safe black district on Cleveland’s east side. Seat was held by Martha Fudge who got picked by Biden for a cabinet position. Election is to fill her vacant seat. Two candidates, black liberals Brown and Nina Turner a veteran political figure. Outcome doesn’t matter, they would both vote the same way.
Oh and just for the record, I’ve seen a hundred of Browns tv ads, and they never mention Hillary’s endorsement. Interesting.
Sort of a why bother then.
If a Clinton endorses a candidate, that is just about proof positive in my book that they have no ethics. The Clintons are scum. Anyone they like or want to promote are almost certainly bottom feeding scum too.
Resume enhancement, she is a shoe in.
