Moran Highlights Tiahrt Ethics Investigations in Mailing Date: July 30, 2010
Kansas Congressman Jerry Moran is reminding voters in the Republican U-S Senate primary of an ethics case involving rival candidate and Congressman Todd Tiahrt. Tiahrt's campaign has long cried foul over Moran's campaign talking about an investigation of Tiahrt by the U-S House. Its Ethics Committee concluded in February there was no evidence of wrongdoing by Tiahrt in how his office handled budget earmarks.

Moran raised the issue again in a recent mailing to Kansas voters. A Tiahrt supporter, state Representative Rob Olson, of Olathe, decried what he called dirty politics.
