More turmoil among Travis Democrats: Former candidate files complaint after GOP past disclosed

Mike Lewis acknowledges his own social media posts doomed his candidacy to become chairman of the Travis County Democratic Party — but only after they were plastered on a shadowy website run by an anonymous foe.

If people should know who he was, Lewis said, they should also know who took him down and how.

In the complaints, which Lewis shared with the American-Statesman, he alleges the two women broke state election code by failing to register the political action committee that he believes created the attack website.
