A series of eye-popping reports detail Josh Hawley’s mismanagement of the Attorney General’s office – with his staff unable to confirm he puts in 40 hours a week at his taxpayer-funded job, evidence his tenure is costing taxpayers, and a trend of pursuing headlines to boost his own personal brand.
From Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman David Bergstein: “Josh Hawley has always been out for himself and what these new reports show is how he’s used his taxpayer-funded office to get ahead – at the expense of Missourians. From leading a lawsuit to eliminate protections for the 2.5 million Missourians with a pre-existing condition to spending millions more on litigation, Hawley’s proven he cannot be trusted to the job Missourians hired him to do.”
