  • Sen. Cory Gardner
    COVERING FOR CORRUPTION PART THREE: SEN. CORY GARDNER A SPECIAL REPORT FROM THE CONGRESSIONAL INTEGRITY PROJECT Ensuring that public officials are working in the public interest is one of Congress’s most important responsibilities. But year after year, some lawmakers get it backwards: They attempt to distract the public from real corruption while they use their positions to enrich themselves and those close to them. Sen. Cory Gardner (R) of Colorado has a history of taking policy positions that benefit his wife’s business interests as a consultant and advocate for fossil fuels—and by extension, his family’s bottom line. This report, part three of our “Covering for Corruption” series, details how Sen. Gardner’s official actions overlap with entities Jaime Gardner has worked for or represented. For years, the Gardners have skirted ethics rules so that Jaime can profit off of fossil fuels while Cory boosts those same industries through official actions. While we do not know exactly how much the Gardners have profited from this arrangement, it reeks of the self-dealing that Washington insiders love but voters despise. And while his family profits, Cory Gardner uses his public platform to moralize against self-dealing. Gardner should come clean to his constituents about his intermingled public and private interests by disclosing his wife’s client lists and any overlap with industries that have business in front of the legislatives bodies he’s served in. We can’t force Gardner to act with integrity. But we can expose his record to stop him from misleading and manipulating voters.
