For 2010- 2015, these are the numbers for politicians who were busted for corruption related offenses on the state and local level, while serving in government.
Democrats- 77
Republicans- 30
*For the purpose of this thread, I only counted elected politicians who were busted on corruption related offenses, such as bribery, extortion, embezzlement, voter fraud, and corruption charges.
Politicians busted for DUI, sexual crimes, and physical assault were not counted. This list I'm including has some interesting entries, one woman was even sentenced to a year in jail for entering into marriage to try to gain citizenship! And yep, she's a Democrat, State Assemblywoman Gabriela Rosa.
Some people on this list were also excluded, such as 4 Philadelphia Traffic Court judges (all democrats) who were busted for corruption charges, but aren't really considered elected politicians.
