Summary
The Supreme Court of Florida approved the stipulation and the Judicial Qualifications Commission's recommendation that Judge Debra L. Krause receive a public reprimand and pay a $25,000 fine for campaign-related violations. The violations involved an improper political-party fundraiser contribution, defective campaign materials, and reporting contributions from her husband as personal campaign loans. Justice Lewis, dissenting, opposed imposing a fine of this magnitude for judicial-conduct violations.
