Campaign finance complaint against Jena Griswold to be investigated

By Marianne Goodland | Colorado Politics

The Colorado Department of Law said it will investigate a campaign finance complaint against Secretary of State Jena Griswold tied to a website proclaiming a run for governor.

The Jan. 14 complaint from The Public Trust Institute, which is represented by Suzanne Taheri of West Group Law, alleged that 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 website — jenaforgovernor.com — first surfaced in August but was taken down soon after 9News reported its existence on Dec. 20.
