Am I sensing a trend here?

Rep. Kenny Hulshof (R-MO) has announced that he will not keep the $14,500 he has received from indicted former Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's ARMPAC in his campaign coffers.

"The Missouri Republican also will not support DeLay's return to a leadership role, even if he is acquitted of all charges, spokesman Scott Baker said Monday," reports the Associated Press [1].

"'He feels it's better to disassociate himself with the situation and not let it become a distraction,' Baker said."

Hulshof, who will donate the money to Katrina relief efforts, is the third member of Congress to voluntarily return DeLay's PAC money. Just a day after the indictment, New Hampshire Rep. Jeb Bradley returned $15,000. Rep. Heather Wilson (R-NM) will return $10,000 in ARMPAC contributions to her 2006 campaign account.
