New Mexico GOP leader Kimberly Skaggs, family accused in straw donor scheme [View all]

Last week, the executive director of the state Republican Party was accused of using a shell company to funnel campaign contributions in a special congressional election last year.

Kimberly Skaggs, named in the Federal Elections Commission complaint, is a Las Cruces resident who ran for state Senate in 2020 and later assumed leadership of the Doña Ana County GOP.

Also named in the complaint is her husband, Joseph Skaggs, an elected member of the Doña Ana County Soil and Water Conservation Board; and Teryl Jay Skaggs.

On Saturday, Kimberly Skaggs issued a brief statement responding to the complaint: "I want to assure you that these claims are false and that I have done absolutely nothing wrong."
