The ethically challenged incumbent representative from House District 129 has done it again! He has broken the law. Now, in violation of state campaign laws, he is trying to hide the source of his contributions, and he is being called on it by a District 129 voter. The voter has filed an ethics complaint.
John Davis has claimed that his mail pieces are being paid for by a political committee called "Friends of John Davis". The problem is that there is no such group. That has been verified by the TEC. So where is this money coming from -- more donations from the giant utility and insurance corporations?
Davis has already been rebuked by the Texas Ethics Committee once this year for converting thousands of dollars of campaign money to his personal use. He even bought a $1500 pair of cowboy boots with some of the money. Did he not learn anything from that misdeed? Evidently not, because he is still skirting the campaign laws.
Martha Griffin, campaign manager for Davis' opponent (Sherrie Matula) said, "It seems John Davis will go to anylengths necessary to hide whose money he is taking and what he is spending it on. After taking tens-of-thousands of dollars from utility and insurancecompanies and letting them crush working families with outrageousprices, he is probably ashamed to tell the truth."
It is time for the voters in District 129 to send Davis packing. There is a great candidate waiting to take his place -- Sherrie Matula. Give her that chance on November 4th.
