As noted on the City Council agenda from 4-30-2013, Steve Ortega received $5000 from EC “Ted” Houghton and $2000 from Marlene and JO Stewart Jr. on March 25, 2013.

Texas Election Code requires these contributions be reported in the 30 day before election campaign finance report.


The $7000 in campaign donations are not reported in any of Steve Ortega’s campaign finance reports to date.
