Matt Van Epps Put His Campaign Manager on the Taxpayer-Funded House Payroll. His Campaign Kept Paying Him Every Two Weeks.
An ethics complaint says Alex Joyner drew $61,805 from the House while still managing Matt Van Epps's campaign. Federal Election Commission records confirm the campaign paid Joyner every two weeks from January through June — $12,493.91 — and then another $10,000 for 'political strategy consulting.'
