The House Office of Congressional Ethics referred allegations to the House Committee on Ethics that Renacci misused official congressional resources for campaign purposes, including campaign social-media posts filmed in official House buildings and official staff doing campaign work during official time, per the OCE referral; the OCE found 'substantial reason to believe' misuse occurred.
