Rep. Luis GutiƩrrez [D-IL4]
ethics violation resolved
In 2013 GutiƩrrez was investigated for using funds from his Members Representational Allowance from 2003-2013 for an impermissible purpose - to retain an individual to provide services to his congressional office that more closely resemble those provided by an employee or consultant, rather than a contractor. In March 2018, the House Committee on Ethics reproved GutiƩrrez for using his Member Representational Allowance inappropriately, albeit possibly unwittingly, and ordered him to reimburse the US Treasury for that use. On November 28, 2017, Representative GutiƩrrez announced he would not seek reelection.
