The New Mexico Republican candidate accused of orchestrating shootings at Democratic lawmakers' homes after his loss in the midterm elections is now under investigation for possible campaign finance violations, according to reports.

Albuquerque police are investigating whether Solomon Pena, who unsuccessfully ran for a House seat in New Mexico in 2022, accepted campaign donations that were funded in part by narcotics sales, according to CNN.“Detectives are working with other law enforcement agencies to determine whether the money for the campaign contributions was generated from narcotics trafficking, and whether campaign laws were violated,” the department told the outlet in a statement.

Upon his arrest, a Bernalillo County sheriff’s deputy discovered Trujillo had more than $3,000 in cash, nearly 900 narcotics pills worth $15,000, and two guns in his possession. Police later matched one of those guns to the ballistics gathered at a shooting that occurred at a Democratic official’s home earlier that day.

“You have a suspected gunman who claims to be homeless with $3,000 dollars in cash and a bag of drugs making big donations to a campaign. You have to ask yourself where that money is coming from,” the official told CNN.

No justification in this. Let’s put partisan politics aside; this guy deserves to be in jail.
