Mr. Lindemann,

Mr. Sullivan is not speaking on behalf of the campaign.

He is offering analysis from his perspective on the “Working Texans Plan”.

This website provides an open discussion for Texans to give their ideas on how to keep the Texas economy #1!

We look forward to input from around the state.

Best,

Seth W. Christensen
Policy Analyst
Texans for Greg Abbott

Mr. Christensen,

Though Mr. Sullivan is not speaking on behalf of the campaign, he is here by the campaign’s invitation.

As you well know, Mr. Sullivan has significant issues with a state agency charged with administering and enforcing laws in Texas. Of course, Attorney General Abbott’s office is charged to defend the laws and the Constitution of the State of Texas.

I am concerned about what appears to be a tacit affirmation of Mr. Sullivan in the face of his difficulties with the Texas Ethics Commission. Several have observed that Mr. Sullivan’s response to allegations is to “play the refs” – undermine the legitimacy of the case by undermining the authority of the Texas Ethics Commission. Having him host this forum at this time can be taken as an endorsement of him – even part of his defense strategy!

If the campaign can make some statement in this regard, it will certainly help clear the air. Failing that, there are some serious questions as to whether Attorney General Abbott is either deliberately or inadvertently undermining the Ethics Commission’s authority.

Sincerely,

-CL
