But the legislature was only in session from February 2015 to May 2016, just 4 months. Assemblymen are only authorized to receive pay for the first three months of the legislative session, causing some to question if Mr.Gardner used campaign funds to get around the law. Mr. Gardner is a lawyer, and was re-elected in the Republican primary last week with more Republicans voting against him than for him, but because votes were split among his two rivals, he won.
