Republican to Return $11,000 in Donations
Republican gubernatorial candidate Jim Gibbons has agreed to return $11,000 in campaign donations after Democratic opponent Dina Titus complained to the Nevada secretary of state’s office that some donations exceeded the legal limit.
Under Nevada law, candidates for state office can accept $5,000 from each individual or entity for their primary campaigns and another $5,000 for the general election. Gibbons received $20,000 from Howard Hughes Properties Inc. and $11,000 from Champion Chevrolet. A Gibbons spokesman said $10,000 is being returned to Hughes and $1,000 to Champion.
