Corporation Commission candidate Ralph Heap faces campaign-finance probe
July 29, 2026 - 04:45
As a result of the probe, Heap has been locked out of his public campaign funding. The Clean Elections Commission is reviewing the details of the sign purchases and whether they violated any state election laws. Heap has not yet issued a public statement on the matter, but the investigation adds another layer of uncertainty to his bid for a seat on the powerful utility-regulating board.
The complaint was filed by a former party official who alleges that the spending did not align with the strict guidelines required for publicly funded candidates. If the commission finds evidence of wrongdoing, Heap could face fines or further restrictions on his campaign. The investigation is ongoing, and no timeline has been given for a final decision.
