Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's campaign finance report missing donor names
AUSTIN — Attorney General Ken Paxton raised nearly $2.4 million last month, but his campaign finance report is missing a key detail: who exactly ponied up the cash.
It’s the latest example of the state’s top lawyer failing to fully disclose all his campaign contributors on time.
Paxton has already been fined for late reports three times this year, though his campaign is contesting two of the $500 penalties, according to records provided by the Texas Ethics Commission in response to a public records request.
His office is charged with collecting unpaid ethics fines but for the last two years has declined to sue candidates and elected officials who collectively owe hundreds of thousands of dollars, the Houston Chronicle reported in July.
