This marks the fourth treasurer change for his campaign since the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Upon the resignation of the previous treasurer, Santos stated on Twitter, &#8220;To ensure compliance, upon the resignation, I was named as Treasurer. A treasurer must be appointed within ten (10) days of the resignation of the previous treasurer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>The Controversy Surrounding Santos&#8217; Previous Treasurer<\/h3>\n<p>The identity of Santos&#8217; previous treasurer has been a topic of controversy. Earlier this year, his campaign identified their treasurer as Andrew Olson. However, state and federal records did not have a record of anyone by that name who is a treasurer of any other federal committees or of any political committees operating in New York state. Additionally, Olson\u2019s address was an apartment building and commercial complex that Santos\u2019 sister resided at until earlier this year.<\/p>\n<h3>Indictment and Denial of Wrongdoing<\/h3>\n<p>This announcement comes less than two weeks after Santos was indicted in New York on 13 criminal charges, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-democratic-california-rep-tj-cox-indicted-for-fraud-faces-up-to-55-years-in-prison\/\" title=\"Former Democratic California Rep. TJ Cox Indicted For Fraud, Faces Up To 55 Years In Prison\">including wire fraud<\/a>, money laundering, false statements to the House, and theft of public funds. Despite the charges, Santos has denied any wrongdoing and has pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n<p>When leaving federal custody, Santos told the press that he plans to run for re-election for New York\u2019s Third Congressional District seat.<\/p>\n<h3>Competition for Santos&#8217; Seat<\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile, at least five candidates have declared their intention to run for Santos\u2019 seat.
