Schock Leaves Congress with $3.3 Million War Chest

Rep. Aaron Schock (R-IL) “is resigning from Congress with about $3.3 million in his campaign funds and several options for spending it,” the Chicago Tribune reports.

“Federal law used to allow officials leaving office to keep that money for themselves. But that’s no longer allowed. Schock may use the cash to pay any legal bills he’s incurred amid recent questions about irregularities in his spending. He also could return the money to donors or give it to other candidates, the GOP or to charity.”
