Tlaib paid T.J. Bucholz's firm, Vanguard Public Affairs, more than $21,000 in the 2018 cycle and nearly $5,300 in 2019. After winning her 2018 race, Tlaib tweeted Bucholz to say she "couldn't have done it without" the consultant. Bucholz went on to spearhead a 2019 Tlaib campaign fundraising effort, selling "Impeach the MF" shirts.
Tlaib who has railed against "violence and abuse" toward women in politics, remained silent as five former employees accuse one of her top consultants of sexual harassment.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/democrats/tlaib-silent-as-top-consultant-accused-of-sexual-harassment/</ref> According to the ''Detroit Free Press'', Bucholz admitted to texting a 22-year-old female staffer in 2016 to say "you're so f—ing hot. Marry me." He texted the same employee to comment on a photo of her a year later, writing "you certainly look … um … healthy."
Another young female staffer said Bucholz threatened to photoshop an image of her in a "sexually compromised position" if she left his firm. One Democratic activist accused Bucholz of proposing a sexual threesome in 2010. The consultant was hospitalized for an "apparent suicide attempt" in March 2021, according to the Lansing-based ''City Pulse''.
