ALBUQUERQUE- While Tim Keller is publicly financed through Albuquerque voters' tax dollars, he will receive over one hundred thousand dollars in help from a Union group called ABQ Forward Together.

"Tim Keller is grossly misleading the public about his financial backings and support. As he parades his moral superiority of being the only publicly financed mayoral candidate, he is allowing tens of thousands of dollars from special interests to be used directly for his campaign," said Ryan Cangiolosi, Chairman of the Republican Party of New Mexico. "Voters can't trust Keller to manage the budget at City Hall when he won't even be straightforward about the special interest dollars his close ally and former campaign manager is preparing to use for his direct benefit."
