Texas election committee studies campaign expense rules
Dallas Speaker of the House says raising the ceiling on campaign expenditures will be difficult. The committee, formed after the Johnson Stevenson controversy, will propose changes to existing election laws and seek suggestions from county and state officials before reporting to Governor Jester. It aims to improve fraud handling and consider earlier primaries to allow proper judicial review between August runoff and November general election. The group includes Shivers, Daniel, and Patterson among others.
