| Description | State Rep. Yadira Caraveo, the Democrat running to represent Colorado’s new 8th Congressional District, has since May 13 paid herself a salary of more than $39,000 from her campaign coffers, according to a Colorado Sun analysis of Federal Elections Commission filings.
There’s nothing illegal about the payments, first reported by the conservative blog Complete Colorado. But it’s unusual for candidates to pay themselves or their loved ones a salary because of the criticism it can draw.
Republican U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn, for instance, has faced criticism for regularly paying his wife thousands of dollars out of his campaign’s funds. |
