Friend,

The campaign finance reports filed by members of the Texas Legislature on September 7 offer our first look at donations received during the first special session ([link removed]) . The session is perhaps most notable for the quorum-breaking flight of Texas Democrats to block the passage of GOP-backed voting legislation.

Over 25 percent of the $491,000 raised by those Democrats during this time period came from out-of-state supporters. In contrast, Republican legislators received less than one percent of their $553,542 reported donations from outside of Texas. Despite Democratic efforts, SB1 passed in early September.
