WESLACO – A former political candidate thinks a fine he received from the state is a joke.

The Texas Ethics Commission published its list of delinquent candidate filers online.  

The commission says Donald De Leon, a Brownsville resident and former 2016 candidate, didn’t file a campaign report on contributions and expenditures on time.

More than 300 names are on the list; fifteen of them are from the Rio Grande Valley.

KRGV’s Frank McCaffrey asked an elections administrator what he would have to do to avoid future fines.
