Baker, not for notable. Bait for Houston journalists.
Ivory Hecker, where are you when we need you?
Anon knows this is peanuts on the national level, but the nation is made up of little localities. Maybe some brave Houston journalist will pick it up.

JUDGE TRAVIS KITCHENS UNDER SCRUTINY FOR CAMPAIGN DONATION
Kitchens recently presided over a serious felony jury trial held in neighboring San Jacinto County during the week of January 24, 2022. The case was State of Texas vs. Garrett Marshall Countryman (Cause No. 12,757, 258 th District Court of San Jacinto County) and involved an allegation of a non-consensual sexual assault of an adult female victim, which is a Second Degree Felony under Texas law with a possible punishment of up to twenty years in prison. The January 24 th trial date had been scheduled by Judge Kitchens last November and a pretrial court setting was scheduled for January 5 th. The case was prosecuted by San Jacinto County Assistant District Attorney Todd Dillon and was defended by Livingston Defense Attorney Lana Shadwick Price. At the conclusion of the trial, the jury acquitted the defendant. A week after the trial, it was revealed in a campaign finance report filed on January 31, 2022, by Kitchens with the Texas Ethics Commission that a mere 18 days before the commencement of the trial, on January 6, 2022, Kitchens received a $1000 campaign contribution from Lana Shadwick Price’s husband, Robert Price. This is the maximum allowable contribution allowed from an individual for a judicial campaign for the 258 th District Court Judgeship under Texas Law. According to the Texas Election Code, any contribution to a judge by an individual who is married to an attorney must be reported and include the identity of the attorney spouse. Kitchens’ January 31 campaign report filed with the Texas Ethics Commission and which is available online at www.ethics.state.tx.us identifies the January 6 th $1000 donation by “Robert Price (Mr.)” but makes no mention of his spouse or her occupation as an attorney. Lana Shadwick Price presently operates “Shadwick Law PLLC”
According to Kitchens’ last two campaign reports filed with the Ethics Commission, Kitchens has raised a total of $17,875 for the upcoming primary election with some $9125 coming from attorneys.
