There were several former Republican senators and congressmen,as I remember Fosseli and D’Amato were listed. The only current Repub pol who received money from Madoff was/is John McCain.

I am from Arizona and I am not surprised. I think I read that he received more funds from out of state than in state the last time he ran for Senate. I recall thinking at the time that there should be no out of state contributions to persons running to represent the people of a local district or state. The support money should be coming from the persons the candidate represents,or wishes to represent.

I’m not sure I agree with that .. and it’s because during this last election, the democrats honed in on a lady running for a House seat, and even Pelosi went to the district and made a “district only” TV commercial to try to get her dem elected.

I was so appalled by how the dems were treating this woman, I sent her a small donation. I guess a lot of other repubs did too and she ended up winning her election.
