OUTSIDE TEXAS, WITH PACS56.7%of $1,041,991 raised this cycle
INDIVIDUAL DONORS ONLY31.5%of $375,235 in itemized individual money

Where the money comes from

  • Texas 40.9% · $426,308
  • Outside Texas 56.7% · $590,686
  • Unresolved 2.4% · $24,997

This counts itemized individual contributions and the PAC and party money the campaign took in, each placed by the state its donors actually live in. Unresolved money cannot be traced to a place under the current rules and is never assigned to Texas or outside Texas. How this works.

Who funds this campaign

The committees that gave the most to this campaign, and how out-of-state-funded each one is. A committee's own outside share is traced through to its donors, so money that arrives by way of a Washington PAC funded from across the country reads as outside money, not Texas money.
