Ethics complaint filed against Chang-Diaz over falsely listing endorsement

An ethics complaint has been filed against Sonia Chang-Diaz for listing El Mundo has an endorsement on her website when she has not been endorsed by the paper.

State Sen. Dianne Wilkerson's campaign told PolitickerMA.com Monday that the complaint had been filed by a voter.

The Boston Globe reported Tuesday that Brian Monahan, a Boston attorney, filed the complaint. Monahan alleges that a voter decided to vote for Chang-Diaz in the primary because of the endorsement.

Boyce Slayman, Wilkerson's campaign manager, said he thinks Chang-Diaz's listing of the endorsement may have influenced some voters.

PolitickerMA.com reported that Chang-Diaz did not receive El Mundo's endorsement last Friday.

"I know that El Mundo as a general policy doesn't endorse, so I could see where people who read El Mundo and saw that this woman had been endorsed might believe this was an exceptional case," Slayman told the Globe.

Deborah Shah, Chang-Diaz's campaign manager, told the Globe, as she told PolitickerMA.com, that the listing was an "honest mistake" and noted that the campaign removed the endorsement as soon as it learned that it didn't represent the entire paper.

Shah also said that the ethics complaint shows the Wilkerson campaign knows they are trailing heading into Election Day..

"Obviously we take any complaint to the Ethics Commission seriously, because no one wants to get on the wrong side of the Ethics Commission," Shah told the Globe. "But we see this as desperate campaign tactics. When you have nothing else to say, you start slinging mud."

The Globe also noted that Wilkerson has been accused of falsely listing endorsements on her website as well.

Wilkerson lost to Chang-Diaz in the September Democratic primary and is now running a write-in and sticker campaign in the general election.
