Seems our former Secretary of State kept tapping her 2006 campaign fund for travel and other expenses well into 2007--months after she was thrown out of office by the voters.

Kiffmeyer is running for the State House in District 16B, along with domestic abuser Mark Olson:

Kiffmeyer Challenging Olson For House Seat
ST. PAUL (AP) ― Former Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer said she's going to challenge Rep. Mark Olson, R-Big Lake, for the Republican endorsement for his seat in the state House of Representatives.

Olson was convicted last summer of a domestic assault charge against his wife, and has been expelled from the House Republican caucus by his fellow Republicans.

"We've got to move into the issues," Kiffmeyer, of Big Lake, told the St. Cloud Times. "We've got to get out of the other stuff. The district needs to move forward now and we're not doing that."

Perhaps we can replace the worn out "Is the Pope Catholic?" question with this one.
