Richard Morrison’s Clean Campaign Plan for Fort Bend County
It’s no secret that in politics, money changes everything. The people of Fort Bend County are tired of our elected representatives making decisions that affect all of us based on their own personal financial interest. As commissioner, I will ensure that issues are decided on the facts and in the interest of the county as a whole, not based on campaign contributions. The campaign finance reform I am proposing will restore the voice of regular citizens to county government.
I. CONTRIBUTION LIMITS
- Starting with the 2010 election cycle, limit individual contributions to a County Jude or County Commissioner to $250.
- Limit PAC contributions to $500.
II. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
- Any gift in excess of $100 to a County Judge or County Commissioner (or immediate family members) from a party with business before the County will require that Judge or Commissioner to recuse themselves from ruling or voting on that issue.
