Impeached Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton has raised more than $1.7 million since he’s been suspended from office, according to campaign finance records.
“Each battle I face, I have been amazed and grateful for the support I have received from everyday Texans. Not only will we survive this latest attack but we will come out of this stronger than ever. I will never stop fighting for Texans,” Paxton wrote NBC 5 in a statement.
Texas doesn’t have campaign contribution limits. Craig Holman from the watchdog group Public Citizen told NBC 5 the amount of money can make for “murky politics.” Holman compares the donations to the phenomenon he saw when former President Trump supporters came to his aid after he was indicted on many criminal charges.
“He can use it for promoting himself on airwaves and his cause and he can use it to pay for a very professional team of lawyers,” said Holman.
