WASHINGTON – Today, Committee on House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil (WI-01) sent a letter to ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones requesting her testimony in a public hearing over fraud concerns on the Democrat fundraising platform. 

Earlier this week, the Committee on House Administration, the House Judiciary Committee, and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform issued a joint report detailing the mass exodus of compliance and legal staff at ActBlue following the 2024 election. The report also revealed that every current or former ActBlue employee who participated in joint committee depositions asserted their Fifth Amendment right during questioning. 

This follows a bombshell report from the New York Times earlier this month alleging Ms. Wallace-Jones may have intentionally misled the House Administration Committee shortly after Chairman Steil launched this investigation in 2023.  

The hearing with Ms. Wallace-Jones is scheduled for Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET.

Excerpts from the letter read: 

“As you are aware, the Committee (in conjunction with the Committees on the Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform) has been investigating ActBlue’s donor verification policies and procedures, including the platform’s fraud prevention services since October 2023.” 

“The Committee is considering potential legislative reforms to address fraudulent and illegal political donations made using online fundraising platforms such as ActBlue.” 

“As Chief Executive Officer of ActBlue, the Committee believes you may have information pertinent to its investigation. Based upon recent reporting, it appears that ActBlue’s production to the Committee’s July 2025 subpoena was deliberately incomplete.” 

“There are outstanding questions about whether and how ActBlue has remedied its ‘fundamentally unserious approach to fraud prevention.’ Accordingly, the Committee requests your prompt assistance in providing information vital to its oversight and investigatory duties.”
