Candidate for Arizona Corporation Commission faces investigation into campaign spending Ryan Randazzo, Arizona Republic
The Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission on Thursday agreed that Eric Sloan, who lost a bid to become one of the state s utility regulators, appears to have violated laws regarding how candidates can spend public campaign money.
Their vote will initiate an investigation that could include subpoenas for Sloan s finance records and depositions of witnesses. It ultimately could result in a fine.
Sloan contracted with the first company, called The Power of Fives, to use all of Sloan s $116,000 in public funding from the state to run his primary campaign, but has not paid the company, according to the complaint.
