Complaint against my city council representative

My city council representative, Jeanne Robb, sends out an email newsletter once a month called "E-talk in 10", 10 being District 10 in the City and County of Denver. The last issue promoted an event for the Democratic Party in relation to the upcoming convention. Since the newsletter is funded with tax dollars, I filed an ethics complaint with the Denver Board of Ethics. They will screen it on 4/24 to decide if it is covered by the Code of Ethics.

UPDATE: Here's the text from the newsletter:
