SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - The Democratic Party of New Mexico is taking aim at Rep. Nora Espinoza, accusing her of violating the governmental conduct code as she considers running for the secretary of state’s office.

The party contends in a complaint filed Monday that the Roswell Republican should not have directed those interested in her campaign to her official legislative webpage.

Party Chairwoman Debra Haaland asked that the secretary of state’s office investigate.



Haaland pinned her complaint on comments Espinoza made during a recent radio interview.

Espinoza said late Monday she did nothing wrong by sharing her personal email address on the air and directing listeners to her legislative webpage if they needed to find it and get in touch with her.

She called the complaint by the Democrats misleading and specious.
