Hit-and-Run Incident Involving Political Canvasser in Texas

A man identified as Duane Maiden, 32, was hired by Echo Canyon Consulting, a firm based in Phoenix, to canvass neighborhoods in Texas. On September 3, Maiden was involved in a hit-and-run incident in Washington County, Texas, while driving a car while intoxicated. The victim sustained serious injuries, including fractures to the leg, pelvis, and spine.

Echo Canyon Consulting received $2.5 million from the Restoration of America PAC to support the canvassing operations for Republican candidate for governor Tom Tiffany. The PAC is heavily funded by Richard Uihlein, whose company is based in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin.
