Abbott tops O’Rourke in money chase in closing week of Texas governor’s race
The Republican is outpacing his Democratic challenger after trailing him in the last two finance periods.
Over the past week, Abbott has received nearly $860,000, compared with just under $700,000 for O’Rourke, according to reports the two gubernatorial hopefuls submit daily to the Texas Ethics Commission. Their battle has shattered records for money raised and spent in a Texas governor’s race as it winds down toward Tuesday. Since July 1, 2021, Abbott has raised $83.6 million and O’Rourke $77.3 million. In those 16 months, with Abbott tapping his massive cash balance, the two rivals have spent more than $200 million.
