Attorney General Mark Brnovich’s office says two men have been indicted for illegal campaign contributions in Kingman.

Attorney General Mark Brnovich’s office says two men have been indicted for illegal campaign contributions in Kingman.

Justin Chambers from Cornville is accused of moving $2,500 from a realty company to the committee to elect Jen Miles in 2018. Miles is now Kingman’s mayor.

In addition, Laurance Lenhart from Las Vegas transferred $2,000 to former Kingman Mayor Richard Anderson’s unsuccessful re-election campaign in 2016.

Arizona law prohibits corporations from making direct contributions to campaigns other than through political action committees.

Chambers and Lenhart were arraigned separately last month each face a felony. Officials didn’t say the cases were connected.
