Mayoral candidate investigated for alleged funding improprieties

By Andy Sevilla

A criminal complaint filed last week alleges Kyle mayoral candidate Brad Pickett unlawfully accepted a political contribution in another person’s name, as well as a campaign donation by a business prohibited under state election law.

City officials said the complaint, filed April 21, was referred to the Texas Rangers for further investigation by Kyle Police Captain Pedro Hernandez. The state law enforcement agency accepted the case on April 23.
