New campaign finance reports just dropped in Texas. Here’s what they show:
John,
We just filed our latest mandatory campaign finance report. So did Greg Abbott. Unfortunately, the numbers show that he out-fundraised us.
| Jan. 1-20 |
Raised |
| Beto O'Rourke |
$1.3 million |
| Greg Abbott |
$1.4 million |
We can’t afford to be outraised again, John. Especially when Abbott now has over $62 million on hand. That’s why we’re asking for your help to pick up our pace so we can close the gap and flip Texas with so much on the line.
Will you chip in $3 right now to help us take on Greg Abbott? We have another mandatory deadline coming up on February 19th before our primary, and we need to ensure that we outraise Abbott this time around.
Contribute $3
While we were behind on the total money raised this time around, there was some positive news for us that says a lot about how we’re running this campaign. We had 28,600 contributions during the first 20 days of the new year — outpacing Abbott by more than 9,000 donations. This shows that far more of our support is coming from grassroots donors.
There are more of us than Abbott’s megadonors, John. If you can, please add your first donation to help us close the gap and defeat Abbott.
Thanks for all you do,
Team Beto
