I was thinking I heard he no longer owned the business?

" Mullin's biggest source of income wasn't his salary. He reported between $200,000 and $2 million in income in 2012 from two family companies, Mullin Plumbing Inc. and Mullin Plumbing West, and another $15,000 to $50,000 from shares he held in a bank.
In 2011, Mullin also made well over $50,000. His salary was over $77,000 and his other income from the same two businesses was also over $200,000. He also reported over $50,000 in rent that year from Mullin Properties."

In 2013, the Office of Congressional Ethics alleged that then-Rep. Mullin received more than $600,000 in outside income from his companies, which is well above the congressional limit. The House Ethics Committee closed its investigation into Mullin in 2018 and ordered him to repay $40,000 to one of his businesses.
We want to ***** about them, but think back to the election. Would you have been happier with the other side?
We (the people) need to find candidates that meet our qualifications, and then work hard to get them elected, and then support them after they are elected.

Most people we would want in Congress, wouldn't want to be in Congress.
And I can't blame them.
M. Mullin is a tool. But I'm not in his district so I can't vote against him.
since when? was it the gov responsibility to create jobs?
Admittedly some might think they are going to do good things but the reality is once they arrive the reality sets in that ball must be played to get their good cause acted on. Next thing you know you're voting to send billions to Ukraine so the other guy will vote for your project which will improve things at home for your constituents.
Then the other side goes up there because they know its a pathway to wealth and power they couldn't attain were they forced to compete in business as they have no merit. Look how many elected Democrats have literally known nothing but politics as a vocation. They go to college and straight into government or sometimes run office immediately.
Government and elected office is all corrupting and evil and needs to be reigned in by the electorate . The one thing I feel the founders did wrong was not instituting strict term limits. In their society and context it really wasn't as much an issue because most were more moral than the people we have today. Society becomes more immoral over time though and what we have going on in the world today is proof of that.
And....since he's filthy rich, it's no problem for him to be victorious in the Republican primary.
Then a bunch of limp-wristed fear mongering zombies will vote for him, simply because he has the R by his name. Then claim a vote for anything else is a vote for the D.
Buddy of mine in the trades said nobody likes him too...said he was arrogant and such. Lotta rich folks are.
I just need him to protect the bill of rights and stop funding foreign wars...if he is a jerk but does that, then so be it.
I saw a story where he did supposedly stop a bloodbath of protestors on jan-six though...the cops were going to start mowing them down and they said he reminded the cops the protestors were unarmed.
