Texas judge accused of breaking law after asking his university students to vote for him
"Texas judge accused of breaking law after asking his university students to vote for him" was first published by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues. A candidate running against a Central Texas district judge is accusing her opponent of using his adjunct teaching position at Texas State University to encourage students to campaign and vote for him, violating state law. Pastrano told the Tribune he filed a criminal complaint against Neidhardt with the Texas State University Police Department and the Hays County District Attorney. “I was less uncomfortable by the email and more put off the idea of Mr. Neidhart as a candidate.” Neidhardt’s emails to students came two weeks after Texas State University System lawyers sent an email to faculty reminding them that state law prohibits the use of state programs and resources to support candidates or influence an election.
