Nevada Republicans have filed an ethics complaint against Representative Shelley Berkley, Democrat of Nevada, accusing her of using her office to enrich herself by promoting legislation and intervening with federal regulators to help out her husband’s medical practice.
The allegations, which followed an article published this month in The New York Times, have already changed the dynamics of Ms. Berkley’s bid for a Senate seat, as she tries to explain her role as a champion of kidney care, given the status of her husband as one of Nevada’s top doctors in the field.
