Democrats, Republicans File Dueling Ethics Complaints In Senate Race

Nevada’s main political parties are continuing a battle of ethics complaints against the other’s likely Senate candidates.

The Nevada Republican Party has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission against Democratic Representative Jacky Rosen.

The complaint stems from a defamation lawsuit filed by her 2016 congressional opponent Danny Tarkanian and says her campaign hasn’t reported paying one of the two law firms representing her in that case.

A District Court judge declined to toss the suit in June 2017, a decision which Rosen’s legal representatives have appealed to the state’s Supreme Court.

The Nevada State Democratic Party has filed at least three ethics complaints and one FEC complaint against Republican Senator Dean Heller.
