Across a dozen of the most competitive state House districts in Texas, Republicans raked in more than $11 million over the last month, compared to the nearly $3.5 million collectively raised by their Democratic counterparts. In all but two of those districts, GOP nominees outraised their Democratic foes by a ratio of more than 3-to-1 — much of it coming in the form of what are known as in-kind contributions, or when donors pay for ads, mailers or other campaign functions on a candidate’s behalf.
The biggest GOP haul was in North Texas, where state Rep. Angie Chen Button, R-Richardson, raked in more than $1.6 million over the last month, easily outpacing her Democratic foe, Averie Bishop. GOP State Rep. Morgan Meyer of University Park — one of two Republicans, along with Button, representing Dallas County in the Texas House — also significantly outraised his Democratic challenger, Elizabeth Ginsberg, hauling in more than $1.5 million.
Across the competitive House races, nearly three-quarters of the GOP fundraising came from five major sources, led by Texans for Lawsuit Reform, a high-powered tort reform group that is one of the state’s leading political groups, and Texas Defense PAC, a group funded by GOP megadonor Miriam Adelson, who took the helm of the Las Vegas Sands casino empire following the death of her husband, Sheldon Adelson.
