"One of Republican Beth Gaines' rivals in the 4th Assembly District special election has filed a lawsuit to prevent her from identifying herself as a 'small business woman' on the ballot.
Gaines, who is seeking to fill the seat vacated by her husband's election to the state Senate, is a marketing consultant for their family insurance company, Point West Insurance Associates, according to her campaign website. She is also involved in the family-run Gaines Ranch Partnership and has worked in sales and marketing for a medical supply company and for a workforce employment firm, according to her consultant and campaign site bio.
But Gaines' financial interest disclosure form attributes income from both ventures to the posts held by her husband, Republican Sen. Ted Gaines. And the statement of economic interest filed by Ted Gaines does not declare any income from his wife."
