Sen. Jacky Rosen’s campaign splurges on lavish dining and luxury hotels.
Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) Faces Scrutiny for Lavish Campaign Spending
Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) has come under fire for her extravagant campaign spending at luxury restaurants and hotels across the United States. Records show that between January and June, Rosen’s reelection campaign spent approximately $12,500 at high-end establishments in cities like New York City, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles.
Rosen, who has been emphasizing her working-class roots on the 2024 campaign trail, is now being accused by Republicans of being “out of touch” with voters while supporting President Joe Biden’s big government agenda.
“This type of lavish spending actually contributes to the distrust and alienation between Washington, D.C., and the average American citizen,” said Kendra Arnold, head of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, an ethics watchdog. “Elected officials making rules for everyday life while engaging in elitist activities raises suspicion.”
Arnold pointed out that campaign committee spending habits should be a concern for the public, as federal law prohibits the “personal use” of campaign funds. While there is no evidence that Rosen’s payments violate the law, it is important to address any potential misuse of funds.
One notable payment made by Rosen’s campaign was approximately $5,600 for “catering” and “fundraising” at Manhattan’s Le Bernardin, a renowned French restaurant with three Michelin stars. Le Bernardin is known for catering to the “super rich” and has been praised for its exceptional service and wine selection.
In Las Vegas, Rosen’s campaign spent $799 on “meals” at the upscale Italian restaurant Sinatra, which is located in the luxurious Wynn Encore Casino and Resort. The campaign also spent $80 on “travel” at the Wynn.
Other notable expenses include $281.89 at Nobu in Dallas, a Japanese restaurant located in the prestigious Hotel Crescent Court, and $1,025 for “travel” at “Crescent Court Lodge.” The campaign also spent over $2,100 at Chicago’s East Bank Club for ”fundraising” and “catering,” and $634.50 at Joselito Casa de Comidas, a Spanish restaurant in Washington, D.C.
“These revelations confirm what we’ve known all along: Sen. Rosen is an elitist politician using her status to fund her opulent lifestyle,” said Richard Hernandez, a campaign spokesman for Republican opponent Sam Brown.
While the Nevada Senate seat leans blue, according to the Cook Political Report, Rosen faces competition from several Republican candidates, including Jeff Gunter, Tony Grady, and Jim Marchant.
