In light of the shocking revelation that Congressman Rod Blum used his power and position to enrich himself through an online company that helps those in violation of FDA protections subvert public scrutiny, Iowa Democratic Party Chair Troy Price released the following statement:

“Once again, Congressman Rod Blum has betrayed the trust of the people of Iowa. His shady business dealings fly in the face of the honest, working people of our state. Not only is Congressman Blum using his power and position to benefit his own bottom line, he’s doing it at the expense of the health and safety of the people of Iowa’s First District. The people of Iowa deserve honesty, which is why we are calling for an immediate Congressional ethics investigation in to Congressman Blum’s abuse of power and position.”
