She may be a snake but she is not stupid.
I had a run in with Senator Jane Nelson, not physically but through the Texas Ethics Commission. I believe I caught her funneling her donors money through her husband’s company to buy a condo. Buying property with your donors money is not allowed in Texas. My complaint was the second time she was caught. You can read the details here but the results of the 2 year investigation is considered “confidential” and hidden from the public.
So why is she resigning? If you haven’t paid attention to the Secretary of State, and most of Texans don’t, it is clear what is going on. It is my belief Greg Abbott is expecting an ass kicking in November. Maybe not for his race but for his MAGAt Party and he has to do something to make it difficult to vote and limit turnout. What better way to do this than to remove people from the voting records. Or maybe takeover the large county’s voting process. Or maybe do something illegal which could land the Secretary of State in criminal court waiting for a verdict and a pardon from Abbott or Trump.
Nelson doesn’t want her record of service ending in a much needed pardon. She began her political career in 1988 almost 40 years ago. To call her a professional politician is an understatement. She will be heavily compensated for her service to the State in retirement making more than most teachers will ever see and will have free healthcare for her and her husband, the guy she funneled money to to buy a condo. She needs to run away from being Secretary of State.
See Jane run. Run Jane. Run!
