Both candidates reported raising another $25 million over the last three months of the campaign, adding to the combined $150 million they had previously reported raising.O’Rourke now has raised $66 million for his campaign — a record for any Democratic candidate for governor in Texas. That tops the more than $40 million Democrat Wendy Davis raised in 2014 against Abbott.
“I’m grateful for everyone who helped raise $25.18 million in just three months as we support the work of our organizers and record-breaking 100,000 volunteers,” O’Rourke said. O'Rourke is still far behind Abbott, who reported raising $25 million over the last three months and now has raised $134 million since he began collecting donations for his re-election in 2019. No candidate for governor in Texas history has raised more.
“As we move into the home stretch of the campaign, we’re confident we will have the resources we need to ensure all Texans know Gov. Abbott’s strong record on job creation, supporting our police, and securing the border,” said Gardner Pate, chairman of the Texans for Greg Abbott Campaign.KNOW THE CANDIDATES:
