Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) reportedly brought in more than $6 million during the first quarter of the year in his bid to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
The Texas Tribune reported that O'Rourke raised $6.7 million in the first three months of 2018.
O'Rourke's fundraising haul was far higher than the amount he had raised during previous quarters, according to the Tribune, when he raised between $1.7 million and $2.4 million.
His campaign told the newspaper that his fundraising haul was higher than that of any Democratic Senate candidate across the country.
"Campaigning in a grassroots fashion while raising more than $6.7 million from 141,000 contributions, we are the story of a campaign powered by people who are standing up to special interests, proving that we are more than a match and making it clear that Texans are willing to do exactly what our state and country need of us at this critical time," O'Rourke said in a statement.
The Cruz campaign has yet to release its first quarter report, but in past quarters the O'Rourke campaign had consistently out raised the Cruz campaign.
By a lot.
Which does not bode well for the Republican incumbent.
I certainly hope it "does not bode well for the Republican incumbent". My fervent hope is that he, traitor Nunes, and Paul (Ayn Rand) Ryan share the same fate: to fail in flames. I myself contributed to all their opponents' campaigns, as well as to Conor Lamb's (I was so happy to see him win, yet a little disheartened to see it was such a nailbiter!). Money's a little tight right now, but I hope to soon contribute more to all of these worthy candidates, and I encourage all of you to do the same, within your means!

I am surprised one of his Deplorables hasn't attempted to take him out for some slight. Didn't build the wall fast enough. Didn't kick all the Mexicans or Muslims out of the country yet. Didn't keep all those jobs in the U.S. Or some other nutso excuse. After all, his supporters have the majority of the firearms in this nation.
DeleteI live in Austin. Beto signs are everywhere. I hope Cruz gets his ass handed to him,
ReplyDeleteThe Russians are feeding old ted and wife cruz well like Donnie and wife it looks like a well fed circus act.
ReplyDeleteFox is such a propaganda machine. Shut down Fox immediately.
ReplyDeleteThen turn all Christian churches into homeless shelters.
Trump quietly dines with fox news in the peoples house. Trump invites Russians to the peoples house the day after they rigged the election. Trump and his foundation of liars and thieves spend millions and billions of our money to harm America. Trump admits he does not pay taxes. Trump commits fraud and goes BK several times. Trump does not pay taxes his bills his debts. He continues to lie, scam and use other peoples money to commit crime after crime after crime. When will he be stopped?

DeleteOT? “Stormfront Radio”
ReplyDelete"A financial crisis looms at Stormfront. Donations are down. That’s partly due to defunding machinations by the “Intolerance Crowd” who hate free speech and White Pride. We don’t have enough money to cover the bills right now. Thus Stormfront patriarch Don Black must limit access to this site to Sustaining Members as of April 6. Only those folks who make a donation will be able to read or post here at that time. This is a temporary, emergency measure."
"I appreciate everybody’s support. But it’s that time of month again, when the big, scary bills hit. Our contributions have once again totaled less than $2000, which is not enough to cover our basic server and radio bills, and this month we no longer have enough personal money to make up the difference."
