Don’t know how I missed this, but Wendy Davis was fined $5,000 for campaign violations. Mind you, these were campaign violations from her 2012 state senate race.
Davis’ personal financial documents for 2010 and 2011 did not properly indicate that her law partner, Brian Newby, was a registered lobbyist. The firm’s unpaid executive director, Marcy Weldin Foster, was also a registered lobbyist in 2011, and that was not disclosed. The commission found Davis received fees for services from her own firm and another that she worked for “of counsel,” Cantey Hanger, in 2010 and 2011. Both firms paid Newby as a lobbyist, and Cantey Hanger paid Foster as a lobbyist.
The actual ethics judgment can be read here.
Maybe she’s auditioning to be on Hillary’s campaign team…
