Texas Republican Party Vice Chair Cat Parks is defending herself against an online campaign alleging she has misdirected party donors to get own fundraising webpage.
In a Facebook post Friday, Parks attributed the accusations to "some pretty simple minds with reading comprehension problems."
In a Facebook post Friday, Parks attributed the accusations to "some pretty simple minds with reading comprehension problems."
While she did not name her accusers, other posters hinted that they were being spread by a man who supported Allen West's gubernatorial campaign and opposes Gov. Greg Abbott.
Parks said she'd "traveled thousands of miles and spent tens of thousands of personal dollars for the conservative movement in Texas."
She also cited the 40+ volunteer hours weekly to the State Party since being elected State Vice Chair. The position is unpaid.
As an Elected Party Officer, Parks says she's statutorily permitted to raise campaign funds.
"To anyone who can read, it’s pretty clear that if you’d like to visit MY website……… your donation will go to MY campaign."
Parks came under attack by former State party Chairman Allen West in his final days as chair earlier this month. West, a critic of Parks and candidate for governor, called her a "cancer on the party," in an email he then widely distributed. Parks is a cancer survivor.
