NEWS BRIEF
FOX31 reports that a hearing officer issued an initial decision fining Republican gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx $57,647.16 after finding that his campaign accepted contributions above Colorado’s individual limits and prohibited cash donations. The decision concerned more than 200 alleged violations and stated there was no allegation that the campaign concealed donations.
Marx’s campaign has said it reported contributions and sought to refund the money. According to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, Marx may file exceptions for review by the deputy secretary after which a final agency order could be appealed in district court.
What to know
The $57,647.16 penalty is part of an initial administrative decision, not a final court ruling. FOX31 reported that the campaign may seek agency review and later appeal after a final agency order.
