Lawmaker accuses Laslovich, Lindeen of campaign finance violations
A Republican state lawmaker says Montana Auditor Monica Lindeen and her chief counsel, Jesse Laslovich, illegally used a state worker as a campaign staffer while the pair sought election to separate offices in 2012.
Laslovich and Lindeen, both Democrats, told an auditor’s office staffer to make deposits on behalf of Lindeen’s re-election campaign, according to a complaint sent Monday to the state’s Commissioner of Political Practices.
The complaint, authored by Rep. Matthew Monforton, R-Bozeman, goes on to allege Laslovich, Lindeen and other auditor's office staffers conducted campaign fundraisers and strategy sessions “during work days while on state premises.”
It seeks both Democrats’ removal from upcoming primary and general election ballots. Laslovich is looking to take his boss' spot as state auditor. Lindeen is campaigning for secretary of state.
