Victoria Spartz has been the subject of several public controversies during her congressional career.
In 2021, Business Insider reported Spartz violated the STOCK Act by failing to timely disclose a stock purchase in Simon Property Group valued between $15,001 and $50,000.
In 2024, the House Ethics Committee reviewed allegations of a toxic work environment and staff abuse. The committee voted against impaneling an investigative subcommittee and closed the matter.
In June 2024, Spartz was cited for possessing an unloaded handgun at Dulles International Airport. The charge was dismissed in September 2024 following her completion of a gun safety course, and she paid a civil penalty to the TSA.
In 2025, former aide Cynthia West alleged she was wrongfully terminated from Spartz’s office and accused Representative Thomas Massie of offering "hush money" to settle the matter. Spartz denied knowledge of any settlement offers or hush money, stating West's employment ended due to concerning conduct.
