Hanlon was a primary candidate for the 3rd District Democratic nomination that year against Mitsch Bush and Menconi.<\/p>\n<p>Feuer alleged in his June 8 complaint that Hanlon did not properly report $1,510 in Facebook ads and, based on Facebook\u2019s reporting, \u201c$182 worth of advertisements ran without a disclaimer,\u201d Feuer wrote in his complaint.<\/p>\n<p>Feuer said in a phone interview Thursday that similar issues came up with Hanlon\u2019s congressional campaign in 2018, but when confronted about it the candidate \u201cbrushed it off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe law is pretty clear that campaigns have to document all fundraising and spending \u2026 it\u2019s about transparency,\u201d Feuer said. \u201cThe law does not have a difference of opinion on this. He\u2019s a lawyer, and he knows this is illegal, but he continues to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hanlon countered that it was an honest mistake, and the expense reporting will be amended in his June 15 campaign finance report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t trying to hide anything, and it was not intentional on our part,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The June 1 report in question showed Hanlon had a sizable fundraising lead over Menconi in the Democratic race, with $16,090 received to date compared to $9,136 for Menconi.<\/p>\n<p>Menconi\u2019s campaign also filed two different amendments related to campaign expenses this week, but no formal complaints were filed.<\/p>\n<p>On the Republican side, incumbent Rankin faces a primary challenge from Debra Irvine of Breckenridge. The June 1 campaign finance reports showed Rankin well ahead of all candidates in terms of fundraising, at $53,025. Irvine reported $4,775 in her campaign to win the GOP nomination.<\/p>\n<p>The Monday filings are expected to show a significant amount of campaign fundraising and spending as primary ballots are now in voters hands.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"mailto:jstroud@postindependent.com\">jstroud@postindependent.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/news\/sd8-campaign-finance-against-hanlon-in-sd8-being-corrected-candidate-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A campaign finance complaint filed earlier this week against Colorado Senate District 8 Democratic candidate Karl Hanlon should be cleared up by the next filing deadline on Monday, he said. \u201cMy finance person missed a receipt, and we have amended the report,\u201d said Hanlon, a Carbondale resident and Glenwood Springs municipal and water attorney who [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[160],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1320472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-local-news"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-09-03 19:02:54","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSKE Ski Country","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1320472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1320472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1320472\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1320472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1320472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1320472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
