What is it with Galveston County republicans running for office?
I do not know Scott Higginbotham but much like Justin Hicks he is real proud of calling himself a “Conservative” and much like Hicks he needs to learn how to follow the law. It’s not hard to do especially when filing official government documents like campaign finance reports. It really is easy. If you spend money, document the date, amount, who you paid, and what it was for. If someone donates something other than money, like the use of a facility for a fundraiser, also document it as an in-kind donation. If someone gives you anything of value, document it. And if your treasurer and wife loans you $12,000 document it and deposit the money into your campaign account.
The Ethics Commission is investigating Mayor Pro Tem Justin Hicks and Sheriff candidate Jimmy Fullen for not documenting loans to their campaigns. They are now investigating Higginbotham for not reporting an in-kind contribution from Mayor Nick Long’s PAC, the Bay Area Conservatives PAC. As noted before Higginbotham donated $5000 to Nick’s PAC but didn’t report it. In return Long gave $5000 to Parabellum Media LLC in support of Higginbotham. He didn’t report that either. This is a strange way of doing business and it is not legal.
The TEC provides a plethora of instructional videos on how to file a campaign finance report. Galveston County Republicans should take a few minutes and watch them.
