HD46: Complaint Against Thompson Dismissed

In the epic back-and-forth also known as the HD46 primary battle, the Texas Ethics Commission has dropped the complaint leveled by a State Rep. Dawnna Dukes supporter against challenger Brian Thompson.

The complaint claimed Thompson did not clearly state his ads were political ads and who paid for them, even though his commercials ended with a message saying "political advertisement paid for by the Brian Thompson campaign".

"The evidence submitted with the complaint on its face shows no violation," the letter from the Commission said.

If you haven't been following, there were other skirmishes between the two campaigns this past week... the Austin Chronicle can tell you a lot more about it:
