FEC · PUBLISHED CASE RECORD

MUR 7897 · TED CRUZ FOR SENATE

No Reason to Believe

Take No Further Action

Respondents: Knippa, Bradley S.; Ted Cruz for Senate; Cruz, Rafael Edward "Ted"

These are the FEC’s disposition labels. Closing a file does not establish guilt; a “reason to believe” decision is a procedural threshold. Repeated amounts for the same respondent group are shown once. Amounts across case numbers can overlap and must not be added.

Read the decision before drawing a conclusion.

FEC disposition labels describe agency procedure. “No reason to believe,” dismissals, and conciliations mean different things. A case can have different outcomes for different respondents. Read the FEC’s legal search guide ↗

Civil settlement

A civil matter resolved by agreement. Read the record for admissions, terms, and which respondent agreed.

Official finding

An authority reached the finding described in the record. Its scope and evidentiary standard matter.

Criminal conviction

A guilty plea or verdict. Sentencing, appeals, and later orders are described separately.

Criminal charges

Prosecutors filed charges. The accused is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Investigation announced

An authority publicly announced an investigation. This establishes a process, not that the alleged conduct occurred.

Filed allegation

A complaint or other attributable allegation. Filing a complaint does not establish an official investigation or a violation.

Dismissed

The authority closed or dismissed the allegations described. The specific grounds, rather than the label alone, explain the outcome.
