Texas Democratic Party Statement on Pending Ethics Complaints Against Ted Cruz

AUSTIN, Texas – Yesterday a report in the Austin American-Statesman detailed a third ethics complaint against Ted Cruz that “accuses Cruz of violating federal law and Senate ethics rules” by flouting earned income limits, a ban on payments for appearances, and his financial disclosures.

Cruz is now “facing at least three ethics complaints” over his podcast deal.

Texas Democratic Party Executive Director Monique Alcala released the following statement:

“Ted Cruz spends so much time podcasting because it clearly benefits him and his shady super PAC. Texans deserve a senator who spends less time podcasting and more time actually doing the job, and they deserve answers. In November, we are going to retire our part-time senator and full-time podcaster for good.”
