Colorado Politics — Darryl Glenn, one of four Republicans challenging U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn in the June 26 primary, has been paying himself a salary out of campaign funds equal to what he makes as an El Paso County commissioner, according to campaign finance documents filed Thursday.
State Sen. Owen Hill, retired Texas judge Bill Rhea and former Green Mountain Falls Mayor Tyler Stevens are also running in the GOP primary for the Colorado Springs-based 5th Congressional District seat held by Lamborn since he was first elected in 2006.
A Federal Election Commission report shows that Glenn paid himself $22,418 in four installments from April 1 through June 6. Pro-rated, it’s the same as he makes as an elected commissioner, which pays $87,300 annually.
Glenn’s campaign raised $27,163 over the same period. His campaign reported $97,690 in the bank at the end of the pre-primary reporting period, including $22,418 Glenn loaned his campaign — the same amount he had just paid himself.
