2 articles · Updated · Santa Fe New Mexican · Aug 29
Summary
Two new ethics complaints target State Rep. Andrea Romero’s part-time job with the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office while she serves in the New Mexico House.
The filings question whether Romero can legally remain a legislator while working for the prosecutor’s office that covers Santa Fe, Los Alamos and Rio Arriba counties.
Alan Martinez, the House Republican whip, filed one complaint, while a private citizen filed the other.
Romero, a Santa Fe Democrat, is unopposed for reelection on the Nov. 3 ballot; neither she nor District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies responded to requests for comment Friday.
