Look for Wendy Davis to report more than $10 million in governor’s race
Look for Wendy Davis this week to report more than $10 million raised in the latest fundraising cycle for her uphill battle against Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott in the governor’s race.
Word from inside the Davis camp is that her fundraising haul over the last six months will be north of $10 million — and will include some big-dollar donors whose contributions are crucial to a successful statewide candidate.
While some of her money will come from a dwindling pool of wealthy Democratic donors capable of writing checks of $25,000 or more — people like Houston trial lawyers Steve and Amber Mostyn — much of Davis’ money is expected to come from small contributors from across the country.
Those donors are attracted by Davis’ headline-grabbing filibuster for abortion rights last year and her personal story: teenage mother in a trailer park to Harvard Law School grad. The Davis camp believes those small-dollar donors constitute a network of contributors she can go back to to fund her campaign through the year.
