His campaign said the massive amount came at a faster clip than his previous, record-breaking haul. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has not released his latest fundraising figures yet but had a large cash-on-hand advantage over O’Rourke at the end of June.
It marked the second consecutive period in which O’Rourke outraised Abbott. O’Rourke’s campaign said he collected $25.18 million during the latest period, covering July 1 through Sept. 29, while Abbott’s campaign said he got nearly $25 million.
The campaigns announced their latest fundraising numbers Tuesday ahead of an end-of-the-day deadline to report them to the Texas Ethics Commission. Abbott’s campaign said his summer fundraising came from “nearly 45,000 contributors, and 81% of all the money came from within Texas.” “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 in a statement.“Governor Abbott’s campaign is proud that the vast majority of his support comes from within Texas and not from out of state liberals like George Soros or from shady dark money groups hiding their donors from public disclosure,” Abbott campaign chair Gardner Pate said in a statement.
