The U.S. House voted to suspend all federal funding for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) on Thursday afternoon by a vote of 345 to 75. Now the measure heads to the Senate, which passed a bill banning federal housing monies from going to the embattled nonprofit.
Minnesota Reps. Keith Ellison and Betty McCollum were the only two members of the state’s delegation voting against the measure. Reps. Tim Walz, James Oberstar, Michele Bachmann, John Kline, Erik Paulsen and Collin Peterson all supported the measure, which was attached to the student loans bill.
