We’re Back! Did you miss us? Well, we missed you and we don’t want to waste any time so lets jump right into “The Election Fix!” Campaign finance reports, especially those at the municipal level, are renowned for their thrilling and riveting narratives. They’re like the Shakespearean sonnets of bureaucratic paperwork, with each line singing the ballad I’ve Got Friends In High Places. You’ll find scintillating accounts of dollar signs dancing gracefully with line items, accompanied by the occasional cameo appearance of an expenditure report. It truly is just the right amount of drama to keep you on the edge of your seat. So, if you’re in need of a good bedtime story or just looking to induce a mild coma, City of Frisco municipal campaign finance reports are the perfect literary masterpiece to enjoy.
Let’s embark on this exhilarating journey of decoding the newly dropped campaign finance reports, shall we? Let’s start with John Keating who appears to have received several generous donations. According to his website he stands for “Accountability & Transparency.” His website says, “John Keating has served from a place of transparency and accountability throughout his time on city council and will continue to uphold these values.”
On Keating’s campaign finance report for the period of 7/1/2023 to 12/31/2023 he reported he had a total of $7735.59 in political expenditures and $0.00 in total political contributions. As of the last day of reporting he maintained the total political contributions $9207.27.
Fast forward and compare that to today’s campaign finance report ending 04/04/2024 which shows he has $31,345.83 in total political expenditures. Then he has $35,125.00 in total political contributions. It also appears Mr. Keating (who just purchased a house in The Preserve at The Fields PGA development) took out a Loan for $50,000.00. As of the last day of reporting he maintained total political contributions of $66,691.66. Wow! That is a big change from his 2023 report.
As we said, “The Fix Is In” so come back tomorrow for more details.

Keating really wants to be Cheney’s puppet for 3 more years. Loans himself $50,000. I didn’t even know if he had a job. + additional $18K from outside Frisco developers and non residents.
Our question is, he recently said at a city council meeting he had to recuse himself because he was closing on his new house in The Preserve. You never make a major financial decision when you are buying a house because it can affect credit so why and how did he take out a $50,000 loan with no collateral listed?
So maybe my math is off, or maybe I don’t understand campaign finance reports but . . .
Contribution balance 12/31 9207
Contributions received 35125
Expenditure totals (31346)
End balance . . . . . . . 12986
so, how does he get to 66,691? Even if you include the personal loan of 50,000, that only gets him to 62,986. . .
It doesn’t seem to be difficult math, but maybe it’s that new common core math I’m missing out on?
