I take offense to that. He is my representative, and he is *no* RINO. Anyone who says otherwise should look at how he has voted over the years before throwing out accusations. Weldon is consistently conservative.

Then you probably know all about his daughter.
Google Weldon. You will find the following:
His daughter Karen may have received special treatment in contract award(s). As discussed in this LA Times article (February 20, 2004), Karen Weldon's firm, Solutions North America Inc., received a $240,000 contract "to promote the good works of a wealthy Serbian family" - Karic - "that had been linked to accused war criminal Slobodan Milosevic". The LA Times article notes that at the time of the award, Karen Weldon was 29 years old, with no relevant portfolio. The article further notes that Rep. Weldon has "gone to bat for" his daughter's firm with at least two other clients, with the three contracts adding up to a value of $1 million. Karen Weldon's business partner in Solutions is Charles P. Sexton Jr., 67, the former campaign finance chairman for Rep. Weldon, and current chair of the Springfield (DelCo) GOP.
