AGAWAM — The Massachusetts Republican Party claims Agawam City Councilor Richard M. Theroux, a Democrat running for state representative, violated the law by creating a campaign fundraising website before establishing a candidate’s committee with the state Office of Campaign and Political Finance. As a public employee, Theroux also cannot directly solicit funds without a candidate’s committee, according to the GOP, which has filed a complaint with the OCPF in Boston.
Theroux, a longtime Agawam official who is challenging Rep. Nicholas A. Boldyga, R-Southwick, for his 3rd Hampden District seat, said his campaign website was created only hours before OCPF officials certified his committee on April 14. He accused the GOP of Watergate-style “dirty tricks” and of exploiting the oversight to taint his campaign. For the full article click here
