What is Gary King hiding?

I have been in repeated phone contact with Attorney General Gary King's Campaign Office.

I am trying to find the names of his campaign staff.

The names are nowhere on his website, link.



The reason why I want to know, is because I have been told,
NM AGO Public Information Officer, and public servant
Phil Sisneros is King's Campaign Manager.

Were that the situation; a conflict of interest would appear.
Has Sisneros campaigned even once, on the people's dime?

True or no, the appearance of a conflict of interest and the
appearance of impropriety themselves, do damage.

The person who answers the phone in King's campaign office, wouldn't tell me if she was a volunteer or an employee. She wouldn't tell me the name of a single person on the campaign staff.

This all seems more than a little fishy, no?

If Sisneros is in fact his campaign manager, it would be fair to question Sisneros' loyalties. Is his function to tell the truth (serving the people who employ him) or to spin it (in order to re-elect the guy who is giving him a cushy government job).

It is fair to question then, the loyalties of the whole office;
is the function of the Office of the Attorney General
to serve the people, or to serve the Attorney General?

If you're curious, Phil sits at his state computer and his state desk all day long and works on King's campaign. I see it happening every day!

I don't know if he is the campaign manager in Gary's mind, but Phil will tell you it is he (not Gary) that's calling the shots.

If you really want to know, get Phil's emails to Gary over the past 10 days! You would be shocked.
