Democrat Senate Candidate Violated Ethics By Accepting Personal Gifts, Committee Rules

A Democrat running for the U.S. Senate was found to have violated a ban on accepting personal gifts while in office, a state ethics committee ruled.

The Washington Free Beacon reported that former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper (D), who also ran a failed bid for president in 2019 and is currently running for the U.S. Senate, was in violation of the ban for accepting a flight on a campaign donor’s private jet and using a Maserati limousine while attending a conference in Italy.
