## Resource

Victor Marx’s Colorado gubernatorial campaign is in hot water over alleged campaign finance violations, facing up to $51,000 in fines for accepting over $83,000 in contributions that exceeded the state’s $1,450 limit. The Elections Division calls the violations “unprecedented,” with a hearing set for September 10-11. Marx’s team admits to some over-limit donations and claims they’ve fixed the issue by refunding or reassigning funds to spouses or joint accounts, but state officials demand proof. Meanwhile, Marx is dodging debate opportunities, agreeing to only one — with Democratic rival Phil Weiser — and even requesting no moderator, while he’ll appear at a Chamber-hosted event in October.
