Here is another one.
Last month League City Mayor Pro Tem, Justin Hicks, campaign finance reports came under investigation by the Texas Ethics Commission. Hicks claimed an outstanding loan balance of $12,000 but never reported it in any previous reports. This month Jimmy Fullen is also now under investigation by the Ethics Commission for some possible violations.
As stated before half of Fullen’s donations in Feb of 2024 were in the form of a personal loan of $100,000 yet in the next campaign finance report that loan was gone. There was no sign the loan was paid off. It just looked like a way to pad his campaign account to look like it brought in over $200,000 for the period.
There are other strange loans and reporting but the $100,000 loan stands out. Fullen now has 10 days to respond to the complaint. As the letter to Fullen states:
The TEC accepts jurisdiction over these allegations. This does not mean that the TEC has found that a violation occurred. It means that the sworn complaint meets the TEC’s legal and technical form requirements for accepting jurisdiction.
