Hicks campaign threatens legal action against TV stations over attack ad
The ad pulls quotes from a Sacramento Bee Editorial Board article criticizing Hicks for declining to release the investigative report into his predecessor, California Democratic Party Chair Eric Bauman, who resigned after sexual misconduct allegations. The Hicks campaign alleges the ad is defamatory and the cease-and-desist letter threatened legal action if the stations do not take it off the air.
