The OMAR Act

Republican Introduces Bill To Prohibit Campaign Compensation For Candidate Spouses

What a perfect name for this bill

Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) introduced the Oversight for Members And Relatives (OMAR) Act Thursday, named after progressive “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) to prohibit campaign compensation from certain committees from going to candidates' spouses.

“Regardless of political party, we should all be able to agree that running for political office shouldn't be part of a family enrichment scheme,” Tiffany said in a press release shared exclusively with Fox News Digital.

“Public officials should serve their constituents; they shouldn't be serving up a plate of campaign cash to their spouse,” he continued. “The OMAR Act will help restore public confidence in Congress and prevent politicians from pocketing their campaign funds.”

The OMAR Act would also require the disclosure of campaign compensation to candidates' immediate family members.
