Busby: Jefferson Should Resign

CA 50 Dem candidate Francine Busby (D) today endorsed an ethical standard that Beltway Dems have so far found unpalatable.

Busby, in a statement, "called on Representative William Jefferson (D-LA) to resign immediately from Congress."

Busby:

"Americans deserve the highest standard of ethical conduct from our members of Congress. We must fight corruption in both parties to make Congress work for the people of this country. Mr. Jefferson should do what is in the best interest of the people of his district and resign from Congress immediately."

It seems like Ms. Busby is echoing much of the sentiment on DU about this subject.

4. Busby has been hammering the culture of corruption.

This is a good move for her politically.
