Colorado Ethics Watch accused Secretary of State Mike Coffman on Thursday of raising money and working on his congressional campaign during work hours. Coffman, a Republican, is running in a hotly contested race in the 6th Congressional District.
Ethics Watch looked at Coffman's calendar and obtained documents through an open records request. Between Oct. 1, 2007, and Jan. 31, Coffman raised money for his campaign at meetings with donors during his work week and official business hours, the group alleged. The group also pointed to more than 100 hours on Coffman's calendar that were labeled as private appointments or meetings.
Coffman's spokesman denied the allegations.
