A veteran Republican campaign operative and political commentator filed a formal complaint on Thursday alleging that the Colorado GOP and its chairman, Dave Williams, violated campaign finance law by improperly spending party funds to support Williams' congressional campaign.
Kelly Maher, a political expert with Colorado Politics news partner 9News, charged in a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission that Williams and the state Republican Party have used party resources to promote Williams and launch attacks on Jeff Crank, one of his GOP primary opponents for the open 5th Congressional District seat.
