He was elected to serve the public interest, but instead, it appears that he has used his position and his campaign account to unlawfully line his pockets and those of his family. Worse, instead of coming forward and taking responsibility for his actions, Andy Nufiez has been using a virtual avalanche of recently amended financial reports to attempt to cover up his wrongdoing, By my calculations, Rep. Nufiez has potentially embezzled at least $32,207.02—and likely much more—from his campaign bank account, in violation of 1-19.29.1 NMSA, Which restricts the use of campaign funds. Rep. Nufiez has raised the bar on creative accounting by developing a sophisticated system of loans and reimbursements that apparently allowed him to line his pockets many times over for the same expense. In addition, it seems as though Rep. Nufiez has repeatedly “double dipped,” claiming excess reimbursements for the same expense from more than one source—including taxpayer funds. It also appears that Rep. Nufiez used his campaign bank account to subsidize his own private lobbying work, securing reimbursements from his campaign account for non-campaign and non-legislative activities, In addition, it’s possible that Rep. Nufiez utilized his legislative campaign account to reimburse himself for activities related to his position as Mayor of the Village of,Hatch; its unknown whether or not he “double dipped” by receiving duplicate reimbursements from the taxpayers of Hatch, but the reimbursements nevertheless appear unlawful because they were not part of his campaign or legislative duties, Faith and confidence in government is at an all-time low. Americans—and perhaps, especially, New Mexicans—no longer trust that their government is serving their needs. The perception of politicians as self-serving has unfortunately become engrained among the general public. That's why it is so important that the appropriate authorities aggressively enforce ethics and campaign finance laws, and crack down on corrupt elected officials. Sadly, the evidence described in this complaint reveals that Rep. Nufiez has likely violated the public trust and, if so, he must be held accountable. Details on each allegation are provided in the accompanying complaint and appendices, which also include a .zip file of all of Rep. Nufiez’s campaign finance reports. I thank you very much for your time and attention to this most pressing matter. Sincerely, LindaCOMPLAINT AGAINST REP. NUNEZ Andrew “Andy” Nufiez is an incumbent Republican state representative running for reelection in House District 36 in Dofia Ana County. A quick perusal of Rep. Nufiez’s campaign finance reports raises a number of questions, but a more detailed examination reveals that Andy Nufiez appears to be using his campaign bank account as little more than a personal slush fund to line his pockets and those of his family members. Every allegation in this complaint is derived from evidence in the public record, and all of the source documentation is contained in the attached exhibits. | urge the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and any other relevant authorities to take appropriate action to investigate Rep. Nutiez’s likely abuse of public trust, and ensure that he is held accountable for any laws he has broken. EMBEZZLEMENT OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS The Campaign Reporting Act (1-19-25 through 1-19-36 NMSA) is very clear about authorized uses and management of campaign funds. Unfortunately, the online campaign finance reporting system has not kept pace with the realities of election campaigns, and Rep. Nujiez seems to have found a flawed reporting mechanism that could be exploited to embezzle campaign funds for personal use. All of Rep. Nufiez’s campaign finance reports from the 2010 General election onwards-~including the most- recent filed amendments-—-are attached as Appendix A. The online campaign finance reporting system (cfis.state.nm.us) tracks the ongoing balances of individual campaign accounts based on regular reports of contributions and expenditures submitted by each campaign. However, those reports are not audited to ensure that the reports filed with the Secretary of State correspond in any way to the “real world” transactions in the campaign bank account. Rep. Nufiez seems to have exploited this breach for his own personal profit. His scheme appears fairly straightforward and easy to understand for anyone with a basic grasp of the online reporting system. In addition to the standard contributions and expenditures disclosed with each filing, candidates can report loans to their campaign, which stay on the campaign’s books until they are reported as either repaid or forgiven. In the case of Rep. Nufiez's filings, he frequently reported loans he made to his own campaign, while simultaneously or later repaying himself and reporting that repayment as a simple expenditure (Form C in campaign finance reports). Because expenditures are single transactions that don’t carry over from one report to another, those debt payments were not deducted from any outstanding loan amounts, unlike if the debtpayment had been reported as a loan repayment (Form C1 in campaign finance reports). This appears to have allowed Nufiez to repay himself repeatedly for the same debts, while never reducing the principal loan balance reflected from each report to the next. A simple example of how this scam worked: in the 2" General report from | 2014, Nufiez reported a loan to the campaign in the amount of $456.02 on | October 6, 2014. On that same date, he reported an expenditure to himself for mileage for precisely the same amount. Needless to say, if he paid himself for the mileage, then it did not constitute a loan to the campaign, which has now added an extra $456.02 to its outstanding loan balance even though that amount was already paid to Rep. Nufiez. So despite the fact that he is owed nothing for that mileage, Nufiez paid himself $456.02 again in the 2015 2 Biannual report, this time listing it as a loan repayment. Prior to 2010, Rep. Nufiez appears to have reported all campaign loans, repayments and expenditures appropriately (although there may have been other problems with his filings)—so he clearly understands the proper procedures. In the 1% General Election report of 2010, Nufiez reported outstanding loans in the amount of $742.00. Since that time, he has reported various loans to his campaign that total $24,795.22. He has since repaid himself $15,145.82 in what would appear to be properly disclosed loan repayments; however, he has also reported $32,949.02 in “debt payments” to himself which were incorrectly reported as simple expenditures. During that same period, an additional $8,907.40 has been added to the outstanding loan balance, for a total of $9,649.40 (including the original $742.00) that the campaign account ostensibly still owes Rep. Nufiez for his loan contributions. Together, it seems as though he has already repaid himself $48,094.84, with another $8,907.40, (erroneously and unlawfully) owed to him, in service of loans of only $24,795.22. This means that his campaign account has already paid Rep. Nuftez back $23,299.62 more than he was owed, with $8,907.40 of the outstanding balance still to come—for a total of $32,207.02 that Rep. Nufiez has seemingly embezzled from his campaign account for his personal gain. The attached Excel file in Appendix B details each of the loan contributions made by Rep. Nufiez to his campaign, as well as each of the payments he reportedly received, far in excess of the amounts he was actually owed. The worksheet “Details” provides each transaction individually, so it can be cross-referenced and verified against the original reports. The worksheet “Summary” collapses the data into an easier-to-digest format and outlines the calculations that reach the likely conclusion that Rep. Nufiez has embezzled more than $32,000 from his legislative campaign account.ATTEMPTED COVER-UP During the course of the past month or two, Rep. Nufiez has engaged in an aggressive effort to amend every single one of his campaign finance reports, probably to cover up his wrongdoing. For the 2015 2” Biannual report alone, he has filed 10 amendments to his original report—all within the period of August 17, 2016 through September 15, 2016. Unfortunately for Rep. Nufiez, itis difficult to obscure the extent of his seemingly unlawful campaign finance transactions. His only option, it seems, has been to simply delete any loan payment or expenditure to himself that seemed improper. Besides the excessive loan repayments, Rep. Nufiez has racked up a large number of highly questionable expenditures, which are detailed in subsequent sections. Most, but not all, of these expenditures mysteriously disappeared from his amended finance reports over the course of the past month or two. The attached spreadsheet in Appendix C details each of the “missing” expenditures that disappeared from reports between their original filing and the latest amendments. | tallied no fewer than 49 different expenditures that vanished from recently amended reports, with values totaling almost $35,000. Fortunately, it is very simple to check against Rep. Nufiez's bank account statements to confirm whether those original transactions took place, and assess whether he was eliminating them from amended reports to try to cover his tracks. DOUBLE DIPPING For obvious reasons, legislators or candidates can never reimburse themselves twice for the same expense, but that seems to be what Rep. Nufiez has done, many times, from many different sources. Double Dipping from Both Taxpayer Funds and Campaign Account While Rep. Nufiez was serving in the legislature in the summer of 2012, he took two major taxpayer-funded junkets: Council of State Governments (CSG) to Edmonton, AB, and National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) to Chicago, IL. For both trips, he claimed every possible expense: a generous per diem ($176 per day), airfare, accommodations, all forms of transportation to and from airports and hotels, airport parking, and even his baggage fees (all contained in Appendix D). It is impossible to imagine what travel expense wouldn't have been covered by the generous reimbursements he received compliments of New Mexico taxpayers.Yet, on his campaign filings, Rep. Nufiez reported a $200.00 payment to himself on July 16, 2012, for “travel expense Canada”—the location of the CSG conference—and another $200.00 on August 2, 2012, to reimburse himself for “NCSL travel expenses.” This is just one example, found very quickly by scanning Rep. Nufiez's travel and per diem records and campaign finance reports. | have no doubt that there are plenty more examples of apparent double dipping Claiming Both Vehicle Expenses and Mileage Reimbursement Just like taxpayers claiming transportation expenses, lawmakers and candidates cannot get reimbursed for both mileage and vehicle repairs and maintenance. This is just what Rep. Nufiez has been doing, however. He routinely claims large amounts for mileage ($1,000 to $2,500 at a time), but then also claims vehicle parts and repairs. For example, since being re-elected in November 2014, despite getting mileage reimbursement for legislative duties like interim committees and the legislative session, Rep. Nufiez reportedly paid himself $2,625 in mileage reimbursements plus $1,940.19 in vehicle parts and repairs (see Appendix D). Note that the vehicle parts and repairs do not seem to be apportioned to account for any personal use of the vehicle; he simply used his campaign account to pay the entirety of his personal vehicle parts and repairs. As previously mentioned, this does not include the taxpayer-funded mileage reimbursements he receives for his legislative work, Other Possible Unlawful Reimbursements Other items on Rep. Nu‘iez's reports raise more questions about double dipping. On most of his filings, he will report a number of vague $200 or $150 “trip,” “travel” or “meeting” reimbursements for meetings in other cities: Is that for mileage? Food? Something else? It’s not clear; my initial assumption was that it must refer to mileage, except he’s already claiming mileage and vehicle expenses. Are these trips another form of double dipping to get paid for expenses for which he is already being reimbursed? Itis extremely peculiar that the amounts for these trips, meals for workers, and other expenses are virtually always perfectly round numbers. As anyone who keeps books and receipts knows, this is almost never the case. A bill will be $183.49, not $200.00. It’s basically impossible that 95% or more of Rep. Nu‘iez's expenses total up to round numbers, so it raises the question of whether this is yet another vehicle for him to embezzle funds for his own personal use. If not, he should be able to produce receipts to back up his assertions, Another probable violation is recorded on the 2014 4" Primary and 1* General reports On the 4" Primary report, Rep. Nufiez claimed mileage up to June 28, 2014. However, on the 1* General report, Nufiez claimed an additional 3,000 miles worth of reimbursements on June 30, 2014—only two days later! It is scarcely possible that hetraveled that distance in only two days, so this appears another instance where Rep. Nufiez is abusing his campaign account to generate extra personal funds for himself. MISUSE OF FUNDS Subsidizing Private, For-Profit Lobbying Rep. Nufiez lost his reelection bid in November 2012. One would expect that most of his campaign spending would stop at that point—especially after he took on clients as a contract lobbyist for Carlsbad Irrigation District (CID) and Elephant Butte Irrigation District (EBID). Evidence of his position as EBID’s lobbyist can be found in Appendix F. Surprisingly, however, he continued spending out of his campaign account, despite not having any legislative duties or active election campaign. In fact, it appears that on multiple occasions, contrary to the Campaign Practices Act, Rep. Nufiez used his ‘campaign funds to subsidize his private, for-profit lobbying activities. Such illegal expenditures include legislative meetings (Aug 7, 2013), travel to Water & Natural Resources interim committee (Nov 12, 2013), travel to Santa Fe (Dec 11, 2013), an Albuquerque legislative meeting (Dec 18, 2013), and large mileage reimbursements for $2,512.00 (April 7, 2014), mileage of 6,280 (July 4, 2014), and legislative mileage for 2,540 miles (June 26, 2014). All of these expenses appear to be consistent with Nufie2's, work as EBID’s and CID’s contract lobbyist, which means they are not valid campaign expenditures under state campaign finance law. Siphoning Money to Himself as Mayor of Hatch Rep. Nu‘iez wears yet another hat as the Mayor of the Village of Hatch. On many occasions since 2010 (e.g. Oct 21, 2010; March 30, 2011; Sept 2, 2011; June 13, 2011; March 8, 2012; and June 22, 2012), he has paid himself mileage or expenses from his campaign account for what appear to be meetings related to his position with local government. One example is the numerous meetings of the Municipal League, of which Rep. Nuiiez is presumably a member because of his Mayoral position. Although these expenses are probably unlawful regardless, because they are not valid campaign expenditures, it would be particularly egregious if Rep. Nufiez were also getting reimbursed for these activities by the taxpayers of Hatch. Supporting his Family Members Although some candidates and legislators pay their family members small amounts to assist with their campaign, most relatives help in a volunteer capacity. Nevertheless, even among legislators who do compensate their family members, Rep. Nufiez appears to have elevated the practice to an art form: he has paid his daughter (Shannon Denny) and grandson (Dane Nufiez) more than $15,000 for their “help” on his campaigns. On. its own, this issue might be fairly inconsequential, but—considered alongside all of Rep. Nufiez’s seemingly unlawful and unethical campaign practices—it raises concerns that should, at the very least, be investigated.FAILURE TO REPORT REQUIRED INFORMATION Although this next concern relates more to transparency than it does to embezzlement or misuse of funds, itis still a very important issue. Under New Mexico campaign finance law (1-19-31(A)(2) NMSA), campaign finance reports must contain “the ‘occupation or type of business of any person or entity making contributions of two hundred fifty dollars ($250) or more in the aggregate per election.” In Rep. Nufiez’s reports, | found no fewer than 53 contributions where “Friend” was marked under Occupation, totaling over $25,000. At least 34 of these contributions met or exceeded the $250 threshold. In one case, a business entity (Sloan & Sloan) is listed asa “friend,” which certainly adds new meaning to Rep. Nufie2’s boasts of being “business-friendly.” list of the relevant contributions is attached in Appendix G. Although some might consider it an arduous task to maintain a friendship with Mr. Nufiez, “friend” is most decidedly not an occupation for purposes of compliance with the Campaign Finance Reporting Act.Report Ast Gen 2010 2nd Gen 2010 3rd Gen 2010 4th Gen 2010 same same same ist BiAnn 2011 same same 2nd BiAnn 201 Ist BiAnn 2012 same 2nd Pri 2012 3rd Pri 2012 4th Pri 2012 same same Ast Gen 2012
