Treasurer for George Santos Quits

“The longtime campaign treasurer and trusted aide of embattled Representative George Santos has resigned, potentially exacerbating the congressman’s already troubled finances,” the New York Times reports.

“The treasurer, Nancy Marks, whose resignation was made public on Tuesday in letters filed with the Federal Election Commission, has been with from Mr. Santos since his first run for office, assisting with accounting and fund-raising and joining him in at least one for-profit business endeavor.”

“Much of what Ms. Marks oversaw is the focus of several complaints filed with the F.E.C.; Mr. Santos, a Republican elected in November to represent New York’s Third Congressional District, is also the subject of separate inquiries by local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.”
