丹佛都会区 Aurora 州众议员里克斯被投诉：未申报2.15万美元竞选捐款
位于科罗拉多州阿拉帕霍县的 Aurora（丹佛都会区），州众议员 Naquetta Ricks 陷入竞选财务风波。据《丹佛焦点》（The Denver Focal）10月23日报道，Ricks 的共和党对手 Clinton Porter 已于10月22日向科罗拉多州务卿办公室提交投诉，指其未申报竞选捐款。
州竞选财务数据库 TRACER 显示，2024年12月至2026年10月14日期间，共有42笔来自政治行动委员会、小额捐款委员会及民主党同僚领导的政治行动委员会的捐款、总计21,525美元汇入 Ricks 竞选账户，其中最大一笔6,200美元来自木匠工会背景的「建设更强大的科罗拉多」组织；但 Ricks 竞选团队提交的14份法定报告中，本选举周期的捐款与支出栏均为零，自2022-24周期后无任何申报记录。Ricks 回应称，她的竞选财务主管此前生病；被追问这如何解释多年未申报时，她结束了通话。
州务卿办公室对投诉的初步审查截止日为11月5日，在大选日之后。报道强调，投诉只是指控，不代表州政府已作出违规认定。Ricks 是民主党人，正在寻求州众议院第四个、也是最后一个任期。

Aurora State Rep. Naquetta Ricks Faces Complaint Over $21,525 in Unreported Campaign Donations
AURORA, Colorado — State Rep. Naquetta Ricks, who represents Aurora in Arapahoe County in the Denver metro area, is facing a campaign-finance complaint. Her Republican opponent, Clinton Porter, filed the complaint with the Colorado Secretary of State on October 22, alleging unreported campaign donations, The Denver Focal reported on October 23.
State campaign-finance records in the TRACER database show 42 contributions from political action committees, small-donor committees and leadership PACs run by Democratic colleagues — totaling $21,525 between December 2024 and October 14, 2026 — were reported by the donors as going to Ricks' campaign, with the largest a $6,200 contribution from Building a Stronger Colorado, a group aligned with carpenters. Yet all 14 reports filed by Ricks' campaign show zero contributions and zero spending for the current cycle, with nothing reported since the 2022–24 cycle. Ricks told a reporter her treasurer had been ill; asked how that explained multiple years without reporting, she ended the call.
The Secretary of State's deadline for an initial review of the complaint is November 5, after Election Day. The complaint is an allegation, not a finding of wrongdoing by the state. Ricks, a Democrat, is seeking a fourth and final term in the Colorado House.
