GREELEY, Colo. (AP) - An ethics group is questioning the campaign practices of Weld District Attorney Ken Buck after he used official letterhead, email and his office's spokeswoman to campaign for re-election.
Luis Toro of Colorado Ethics Watch says he believes it's a clear violation of state law.
Buck says any costs were minimal and it was only sent to the Greeley Tribune to announce he is running for a third term.
In Colorado's Republican primary, former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton was defeated by Buck.
Buck lost to Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet, who was appointed to the job in 2009 and had never run for political office before.
