Ted Lieu\u2019s campaign account has been used to contribute more than $15,000 to his wife\u2019s school board campaign committee since the end of 2018.<\/p>\n<p>As Jennifer Van Laar of RedState <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/jenvanlaar\/2021\/08\/18\/ted-lieu-spent-15k-in-campaign-contributions-to-get-his-wife-elected-to-the-school-board-n427970\">delineated<\/a> in a series of screenshots, Lieu\u2019s campaign donated $888 on November 26, 2018, $5,000 on January 4, 2019, $2,000 on January 15, 2019, $5,500 on July 3, 2019, and $2,000 on March 31, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThree of the contributions are listed as going to Betty Lieu for School Board 2018 and two are listed as going to Betty Lieu for School Board 2019, but the accounts are one and the same. Ted\u2019s treasurer should know this since he\u2019s also Betty\u2019s treasurer,\u201d Van Laar reported.<\/p>\n<p>Lieu\u2019s campaign also sent out emails in 2020 looking for donations for his wife\u2019s school board campaign. They stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"20\">\n<p><em>My wife Betty is the love of my life. I rely on her for advice and support, and she is the rock that anchors our family. Betty also happens to have the hardest job in elective politics right now as an elected school board member, trying to open schools safely in the middle of a pandemic. And tomorrow is her birthday.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Can you help me give Betty an awesome birthday present by donating to her school board campaign? Betty is the Vice President of the Torrance Unified School Board, which governs one of the largest school districts in America. She helps oversee a diverse district with over 2,000 teachers and school employees, 34 schools, and 23,500 students. Betty still has some campaign debt from her first race. If you can help her clear that it would be a big boost for her reelection campaign.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/ethics.house.gov\/sites\/ethics.house.gov\/files\/documents\/2008_House_Ethics_Manual.pdf\">House Ethics Manual<\/a> notes:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"16\">\n<p><em>FECA generally allows Members to donate campaign funds to any entity of the kinds described in \u00a7 170(c) of the Internal Revenue Code \u2013 including a charitable or educational organization, or a governmental entity \u2013 provided that there is no conversion to personal use through the donation. \u2026 FECA also allows the transfer of campaign funds \u2015 without limitation to any national, State, or local committee of any political party. Thus if otherwise lawful, campaign funds may be transferred to another candidate, or invested for use in a future political campaign, provided, again, that there is no conversion of funds to personal use.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Lieu <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-democrat-ted-lieu-admits-he-wants-censor-ryan-saavedra\">admitted<\/a> in December 2018 that he wanted to censor free speech, but couldn\u2019t because the First Amendment prevented him from doing so. He stated on CNN, \u201cI would love to be able to regulate the content of speech. The First Amendment prevents me from doing so. And that\u2019s simply a function of the First Amendment. But I think over the long run, it\u2019s better that government does not regulate the content of speech.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lieu also has had trouble with American history. In October 2017, he claimed that the 25th Amendment was written by America\u2019s founders, tweeting, \u201c<span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">The Framers designed the 25th Amendment for that hypothetical situation of an unstable, impulsive, unraveling&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"r-18u37iz\">@POTUS<\/span><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">.
