More on Rep. Jeb Bradley (R-NH), the wealthy conservative lawmaker whose pro-energy voting record complements his energy-heavy stock portfoilio.
Now, Harper’s blog reports that he’s paid two of his kids — recent high school grads — thousands of dollars to work on his campaign:
[Bradley paid] almost $27,000 in salary and expenses to two of his children, Sebastian and Noel, who served as field coordinators for his run for Congress in 2004. Not bad for five months’ work by a couple of recent high school graduates. . . .
There aren’t many Congressional campaigns that hire fresh-faced kids as field coordinators; in fact, college graduates frequently have to beg their way into unpaid campaign internships. But when it comes to positions on the Bradley campaign, it clearly helps to share the candidate’s genetic material.
