New Mexico’s Republican secretary of state faces 65 corruption charges including identity theft
The New Mexico secretary of state, who oversees campaign finance reporting and once bemoaned a "culture of corruption" in the state, has been accused of using her election fund as a personal piggy bank at jewelry stores, ATMs and casinos.
Secretary of State Dianna K. Duran already faces allegations of financial crimes, stemming from a separate August indictment.
Late Friday, the New Mexico Attorney General's Office alleged in a criminal complaint that Duran also falsified campaign finance reports by forging the name of a former state Senate colleague and claiming him as her campaign treasurer.
The one-time colleague, Don Kidd, a banker in southeast New Mexico, denied any involvement with Duran's campaigns in 2010 and 2014.
