Judge halts corporate funds for Texas GOP PAC
A Texas judge ordered Associated Republicans of Texas to stop raising or spending corporate money until after the November election. The temporary injunction affects the PAC in a suit by David Leibowitz and Bob Glaze, who allege the group funds opponents of two incumbents, Rep. Ken Mercer and Rep. Bryan Hughes. The plaintiffs claim soft money violated Texas law, while the PAC cites a 1975 code update allowing general purpose PAC financing.
