As Tulsi Gabbard's political star continued to rise, her congressional campaign hired a public-affairs firm in 2017 to manage her image and suppress coverage of her sect's alleged ties to a pyramid scheme. The move was seen as an effort to protect her reputation and burnish her public image. With the help of the firm, Gabbard's campaign aimed to deflect attention from the controversy and focus on her policy initiatives. However, the alleged scheme has raised concerns about transparency and accountability in politics, sparking a wider debate about corruption and political integrity. Key issues include financial transparency and campaign finance reform.
