“Michigan families work too hard to have their tax dollars turned into @JohnJamesMI’s personal campaign slush fund. He should apologize and pay every penny back to the taxpayers.”

NEW: @RepJames got caught using TENS OF THOUSANDS of tax dollars from his Congressional office running this obvious campaign ad outside his district to boost his struggling campaign.
When exposed, their response is essentially to admit that they were breaking the rules but now that they’ve been caught they just aren’t going to pay the bill?
So who is paying for the ads?
Bill @pulte is one of - if not THE MOST - talented people I’ve ever met in my life and the sky is literally the limit for him. Picking someone who has made a living coming from the outside to fix broken institutions is exactly the right thing to do.
I thought he should’ve been HUD Secretary as far back as 2016.
UPDATE: Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters Tuesday that if the administration tries to pursue a permanent appointment for Bill @Pulte, he'd have "a lengthy road ahead of him."

The media seems to be protecting John James now. They cover Perry Johnson staff allegedly adding a disclaimer at the wrong time as some sort of massive fraud, but yet they ignore when John James literally gets busted using tax dollars to advertise outside his congressional district.
Mike Cox is right here, and this story deserves coverage.
And not even a full day later, all of @RepJames' ads are now only targeting his district, instead of the Detroit DMA🤔
Why did they change all of a sudden? Seems like a good question for reporters to ask @JohnJamesMI!
An update to my Friday coverage of @Right_to_Life gubernatorial endorsements from @kasbenal today: the John James campaign sent a press release which we found out late Friday evening contained quotes that the organization’s leaders never gave. More here: https://t.co/cMSSRudRbr
BREAKING: @JohnJamesMI continues to ignore the calls of gun owners to return his GLGR Candidate Survey. What is hiding?
Use the link below to email his campaign and urge him to return his GLGR Survey 100% pro-gun!

John James fraudulently diverts taxpayer funds allocated for keeping his constituents informed to instead wasting those tax dollars promoting himself outside his district. His campaign is broke, desperate, and breaking the law/ethics.
🚨FRAUD: "A Michigan voter has filed a formal complaint alleging Congressman @JohnJamesMI used taxpayer-funded congressional advertising to target voters far outside Michigan's 10th Congressional District while running for Governor."
Let's say the quiet part out loud: John James is using taxpayer-funded House communications to run campaign-style ads because his campaign can’t afford to do it itself.
The law is clear: official communications are for constituents, not for bankrolling a candidate’s statewide campaign.
It’s entirely obvious that John James isn’t built for primetime.
After $200 million spent and wasted on two statewide losses, and a disastrous start to his third attempt, it’s time for Republicans to move on from the @JohnJamesMI experiment.
🚨DECEPTION: RINO John James is flooding Michiganders with a MISLEADING mass text, falsely implying Trump endorsement: “President Trump says, ‘Put John James in charge!’”
THE CLIP IS FROM 2024.
His sleazy, desperate campaign is manipulating seniors with a FAKE endorsement!
