Two U.S. Representatives from North Carolina have been mentioned prominently on ethics and government-transparency websites this week.
- Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington released a report this week saying Rep. Sue Myrick, a Charlotte-area Republican, has paid family members more money than any other member of Congress. The report says Myrick's campaign paid her stepdaughter’s company, Myrick/Gunter Advertising, $408,818 over the 2008 and 2010 campaign cycles. A spokesman for the Myrick campaign told the Charlotte Observer that payments were for major media buys on billboards, radio and television.

Other North Carolina lawmakers mentioned in the report include Patrick McHenry, who paid his sister $41,740 in 2010 to be his campaign treasurer, as well as G.K. Butterfield, Larry Kissell, Mike McIntyre, and Mel Watt.
