Gwen's scam PAC (Gwen PAC)

Jay Weber Show transcript 5-31-23

Did you see how Congresswoman Gwen Moore has been abusing her leadership PAC? 

And this should surprise no one who has been listening to WISN for any number of years. 

We have routinely detailed-for decades- all sorts of grifting and ‘side grifts’ that Gwen Moore and her family have had going related to their elected offices. 

But these leadership funds have always been easy for unscrupulous lawmakers to scam donors and enrich themselves-under the guise of raising money for other candidates. 

As Dan Bice’s piece on this pointed out; 

 Bice: U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore used her leadership PAC on lobster, limos and wine country luxury

Just in that little list that Bice gave us- that’s 350-thousand dollars in expenses. The PAC only took in 728-thousand dollars in donations. 

And so- in order to believe this claim...We’ve had to believe that Gwen Moore spent 350-thousand dollars wining and dining people in order to raise 320-thousand dollars. That is an awful return-on-investment, isn’t it? 

There isn’t a fundraising organization in the world who would say spending one dollar in order to raise a-dollar-80 is a good return...Or represents a good fundraising operation. 

This is a scam-PAC, even if lawmakers want to call it something else.   The way Gwen Moore is using her leadership PAC, puts it into the category of ‘scam PAC’. 

Those are started by people who never really intended to use the money the way they say they will-and instead-only donate a tiny fraction-as they pocket the rest. 

And isn’t that what Moore is doing? 

This is a scam PAC. 

Gwen Moore doesn’t even need to run a re-election campaign and hasn’t had to in nearly two decades. Her district is so heavily democrat that she automatically wins re-election every time-to the point that she’s had very few GOP challengers over the years. 

Why in God’s name would her sister need to be paid a massive 232-thousand-dollar salary in 2022? 

And- is ‘sis’ getting a salary that massive every two years? My god- that’s 60-thousand dollar a year job-for doing nothing. 

Bice also mentions she’s 70: with a scam like this going on-where she doesn’t have to work at re-election and can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars of ill-gotten gains every year-why would Gwen Moore ever retire? 

Based on these numbers, alone, I'd predict that Moore will be another elected official to die in office. There’s no way she and her family are giving up this scam PAC. 

And no other Wisconsin congressman appears to be abusing their PAC this way, if they have one. 

Bice points out that Scott Fitzgerald's PAC didn’t dole out a lot of money-but his records also show no signs of personal use or abuse I’ll amend my statement: if we want to get Gwen Moore to ever retire-we need to get congress to reform the laws on these leadership PACs. 

But you know how impossible it is to get congressmen to police themselves and take away their own perks, so don’t hold your breath.
