Capitol Alert

The latest on California politics and government

Five California members of Congress dot the list of the "most corrupt" lawmakers in Washington, according to the government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics.

This year, just as last year, California has more members on the list than any other state in the union.

Last year, the Californians included were Republican Reps. Ken Calvert, John Doolittle, Duncan Hunter, Jerry Lewis and Gary Miller.

Hunter, who is retiring, didn't make this year's list.

But Rep. Laura Richardson, whose housing and financial woes have been heavily covered, made the cut. She is one of only seven Democrats among the 24 lawmakers the group identified.
