Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : "Almost all of the attention of federal law is on the fund-raising side, not the spending side."
50% : The report came nearly a year after The New York Times detailed a pattern of embellishment and major inconsistencies in Mr. Santos's résumé, setting off state and federal investigations and a House ethics inquiry.
46% : Personal enrichment is explicitly disallowed by campaign finance law.
44% : "While a handful of congressional candidates have been convicted of misusing campaign money in recent years, Mr. Santos -- who faces federal charges but has not been convicted of any crimes -- had the acute misfortune of actually winning his race, and of representing a district saturated with attention from the news media and federal law enforcement.
33% : Perhaps no federal officeholder in modern American history has been accused of ignoring, testing or breaking as many aspects of campaign finance law so flagrantly, in such a short span of time, as George Santos has.
