Seven Texans Grace Case With $35,000

UPDATED ~ Seven Texans graced insurance commissioner candidate Bill Case with $5,000 maximum donations at the last minute, Ethics Commission records show today. The $35,000 was joined by a single $1,000 donation to put $36,000 into Case's final effort to win the office.

Case seeks to unseat Democrat Kim Holland, who has been under fire from a secret Texas group, "Just The Facts America."

Solomon in Dallas who is an attorney and associate of the law firm Patton Boggs; it was Benjamin L. Ginsberg of Patton Boggs in Washington who emerged as the attorney for "Just The Facts America," the group attacking Holland.)
