NM-LC: National energy super PAC faces ethics complaint over spending in NM land commissioner race
American Energy Action Fund, a super political action committee that has thrown its weight behind a New Mexico Democratic land commissioner candidate, is facing a state ethics complaint over its alleged failure to disclose spending details.
The Virginia-based fund, which says it boosts candidates who advocate for renewable energy, has purchased mailers and text message campaigns in support of Juan de Jesus Sanchez III, who is running in the three-person Democratic primary for state land commissioner.
Source NM recently reported that, according to the New Mexico Secretary of State’s Office, the fund has not complied with state law that requires out-of-state super PACs to submit certain spending records to the state.
Federal filings show the company in February spent nearly $700,000 on a “non-federal” campaign that includes digital advertising, text messages and mail, but the filings do not specify which race or races the campaign supported, or where those elections are taking place.
