Debra Lehrmann hit with ethics complaint

Hoppe:

Texans for Public Justice filed a complaint against Texas Supreme Court candidate Debra Lehrmann with the state Ethics Commission.


TPJ points out that the Republican nominee, who is currently a Tarrant County district court judge, accepted a $20,000 campaign loan from an individual. Under state judicial ethics laws, a candidate for judge can't take more than $5,000 from a person. TPJ says a loan counts as a contribution. The contributor, Norma Talley of Fort Worth, also provided Lehrmann with a separate direct contribution of $100.

UPDATE:
Debra Lehrmann camp calls ethics complaint frivolous:

Guess what? Lehrmann asks. Talley, the contributor, is her mother-in-law. Not only could this mean that she followed the law, but that she gets kudos for having the kind of relationship with her mother-in-law that could net a $20,000 check.
