Investigation opened based on campaign finance complaint against Colorado lawmaker (R)
A campaign finance complaint made against Colorado state Rep. Ron Weinberg moved into an investigation phase last week, according to documents from the secretary of state’s Elections Division.
Weinberg, a Loveland Republican, faces a complaint related to how he spent campaign contributions at, among other places, a barber shop, a cigar shop and a high-end Denver hotel. There is also a donation to the Israeli rugby team Maccabi Tel-Aviv Football Club.
The complaint was filed in August by Rep. Brandi Bradley, a Littleton Republican. Weinberg had an opportunity to respond to the complaint and address the allegations. The submitted documents are not publicly available.
“Given their responses to the Complaint, Respondents did not substantially comply with Colorado campaign finance law,” the investigation notice, dated Nov. 19, says.
