TEC Orders Missouri City Officials To Revise Campaign Release For Ron Reynolds

"....District 27 State Representative candidate Ron Reynolds says it was a shock when he was confronted this week by a Libertarian candidate questioning Reynolds’ use of the term “representative elect.”

Reynolds, a Democrat, was speaking to the Fort Bend County Chamber of Commerce when Libertarian candidate Derek Grayson introduced himself.
“It was the first I ever heard of him,” said Reynolds, who said he was not intending to be deceptive by using the title representative elect.
“I was not trying to put myself ahead of an election,” said Reynolds. “I really thought I was unopposed after the primary and that had pretty much been undisputed until this Monday.”

Missouri City recently sent out a press release that included a photo with Reynolds, with the caption referring to him as representative elect. City administrators were contacted by the Texas Ethics Commission and told that Reynolds must be referred to as a candidate.
A revised press release was sent out this morning." FBN
