The Complaint alleged that Voices of Austin “sent an email with a PDF of their ‘latest mailer’ to Austin voters”, and that the communication failed to include a disclosure statement with the names of the five largest contributors as required by City Code Section 2-2-33. At a final hearing held on March 10, 2021, the Commission determined that Voices of Austin violated City Code Section 2-2-33 (Disclosure Statement Required) of Chapter 2-2 (Campaign Finance). A letter of censure is the appropriate sanction where the Commission finds a serious or repeated violation of City Code Chapter 2-7, which incorporates violations of City Code Chapter 2-2 (Campaign Finance). The Commission heard evidence and made determinations at a final hearing on the allegations. The Commission’s actions were recorded by video recording and are available at: https://austintx.new.swagit.com/videos/114281. Based on the Commission’s findings and determinations, the Commission issues this letter of censure to Voices of Austin. This action is effective as of the 10th day of March, 2021.
