Secretary of State Jena Griswold wants Colorado voters to make her governor. While the state’s top campaign finance cop hasn’t thrown a swanky launch party yet, she’s already announced her run — allegedly by breaking the very rules she’s supposed to enforce.
As The Denver Gazette reported, the Public Trust Institute filed a complaint on Jan. 14, alleging Griswold “expended funds on a gubernatorial campaign and had a website dedicated to a gubernatorial run but has not registered a committee or filed a candidate affidavit for governor.”
The domain — jenaforgovernor.com — was purchased on Aug. 8. A placeholder webpage went live the next day, copyrighted by “Jena for Governor,” declaring “Launching Soon” and asking visitors to submit their email addresses “to be the first to get updates.”
