The couple is accused of misusing over $5,000 of public funds for campaign merchandise and purchasing a $80,000 Ford Expedition, among other allegations. Additionally, they face charges related to harassment against political rival Fernando Madrid, who claimed coercive tactics prompted him to withdraw from the race. Their aide, Daryl Greer, is also implicated in the indictment, facing charges for misuse of public funds and harassment. Attorney General Kris Mayes emphasized the serious nature of these allegations, highlighting the importance of integrity among public officials. The investigation follows a warranted search of Whiting's office in June, underscoring ongoing concerns about public trust in local governance.
