Congressional mailer design concept
A bipartisan U.S. House commission quickly dismissed a complaint filed by the Henderson County Democratic Party claiming that a mailer sent by U.S. Rep. Chuck Edwards was “hyper-partisan” and barred by Congress’s franking privilege rules.
The franking privilege, which covers mailing costs for official communications to constituents by members of Congress, dates back to 1775. The complaint was filed by the Democratic Party Chair and other Democrats with the Communications Standards Commission.
The mailer in question underwent a review before distribution and was granted an Advisory Opinion as compliant under the Communications Standards Manual. The Commission, after review, dismissed the complaint, stating that the content of the mailer met the current requirements.
The bipartisan House commission’s decision reflects the careful scrutiny of official communications by members of Congress to ensure adherence to franking privilege rules.
