The state Republican party has confirmed it will be filing an ethics complaint against Secretary of State Ross Miller and state Treasurer Kate Marshall alleging the improper use of publicly funded web pages, phone lines and state employees for their respective reelection campaigns.
“The Nevada Republican party is moving forward with an ethics complaint,” confirmed Ciara Turns, Communications Director for the state party. “We look forward to the ethics commission completing an investigation into these improper actions.”
Turns said the evidence collected includes screen shots of web pages that have since been revised and records of phone conversations with public employees who fielded campaign-related questions and directed callers to where they could make campaign donations for both Miller and Marshall.
Turns said she anticipates the ethics complaint will be filed tomorrow.
In a press release issued today and titled “Marshall works for Nevadans as opponent throws stink bombs,” state Treasurer Kate Marshall called the ethics allegations a “cheap and baseless attack.”
