Ethics complaint against Texas state senate candidate tossed out days before start of early voting
SAN ANTONIO An ethics complaint against Texas State Senate candidate Xochil Pea Rodriguez has been dismissed days before the start of early voting, according to a copy of the order obtained by the KSAT 12 Defenders Wednesday night. The complaint, filed with the Texas Ethics Commission early this year, accused Pea Rodriguez of having inconsistencies in her campaign finance reporting. State campaign finance records show she accepted $125,000 in loans from her mother, Carolina, between late last August and the day after last Christmas. The dismissal comes at a critical time in Pea Rodriguezs District 19 State Senate campaign. Pea Rodriguez, a first-time candidate for public office, beat Gutierrez in the March primary but fell short of getting a majority of votes.
