Republicans file complaint against Democratic secretary of state nominee
SANTA FE – Republicans have filed a complaint against Democratic Secretary of State nominee Maggie Toulouse Oliver for a contribution that one political action committee gave another two years ago, alleging she violated campaign finance laws – a claim Toulouse Oliver says is baseless.
The complaint, filed with Secretary of State Brad Winter’s office by state Rep. Zach Cook, R-Ruidoso, was publicized Monday by state Rep. Nora Espinoza of Roswell, the Republican running against Toulouse Oliver in the November general election.
The winner will fill out the remaining two years of the term of former Secretary of State Dianna Duran, who resigned from the office last year, pleaded guilty to misusing her campaign funds, and went to jail.
Cook’s letter, dated June 22, cited an October 2014 contribution of $10,000 from Verde Voters PAC to another political action committee, SOS for Democracy, that was earmarked for a TV ad buy in support of Toulouse Oliver. She was running against Duran at the time.
