Texas Republican Scandal Breaking?
Does anyone know anything about this? Eissler is my rep.

However, excuse the Burnt Orange Report for its slant on this part:

"Because Gene Seaman is the only one of these folks who has a competitive challenger (or even an opponent), we've focused on his tale at BOR which the Corpus Christi Caller Times has already picked up on."

Montgomery County does actually have a Democrat running against Eissler in District 15--Her name is Sammie Miller.

Please let me know if you know more.

State Representatives Gene Seaman, Rob Eissler and Vicki Truitt, as well as State Senator Kim Brimer appear to be involved in potentially illegal (case by case) schemes- using campaign funds to pay for Austin area properties.

Each of these "Rent to Own Republicans" employs a different method to skirt the law, but it is evident in each case that the practice of using a spouse as a funnel to convert campaign contributions into mortgage payments or condo dues is simply improper. While Texas families are working hard to make their house payment every month, these Republicans are buying luxury condos courtesy of their special interest contributors.

Because Gene Seaman is the only one of these folks who has a competitive challenger (or even an opponent), we've focused on his tale at BOR which the Corpus Christi Caller Times has already picked up on.
