    “I will say that a vote was taken,” Wild said. “As many of you know, this committee is evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans — five Dems, five Republicans — which means that in order to affirmatively move something forward, somebody has to cross party lines and vote with the other side — which happens a lot, by the way, and we often vote unanimously.”

    If you’re wondering who these politicians are that agree across party lines on ethical issues:

    Republicans

    Chairman Michael Guest, Mississippi

    David P. Joyce, Ohio

    John H. Rutherford, Florida

    Andrew R. Garbarino, New York

    Michelle Fischbach, Minnesota

    Democrats

    Ranking Member Susan Wild, Pennsylvania

    Veronica Escobar, Texas

    Mark DeSaulnier, California

    Deborah K. Ross, North Carolina

    Glenn F. Ivey, Maryland

      I just read that one of the Democrats said none of that is true and there was no deal. So, I guess we’ll have to wait for more reporting.

        I think you may have just read my quote and not the article< or there’s a misunderstanding here.

        What exactly do you mean “none of that is true”?

        The quote doesn’t say there was a deal, just that a vote was taken…
