$139,679,397 dropped into Texas state level politics by 25 individuals from January 2015 to June 2021.

Who are they and who did they give to?

Is there really a “both sides” to the money? (Hint: Nope)
****************


All the details are here:

By Chris Tackett
"The Both Sides of the Money in Texas Politics"

"There isn’t really a both sides.
I’ve pulled the top 25 individual donors to Texas state level races (everything that has to be filled with the Texas Ethics Commission) from January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2021, a full 6 1/2 years.

There is a solid confluence with millions of dollars flowing into Republican candidates from the majority of those 25.
For all intents and purposes, it doesn’t exist on the Democratic side."

1. Chris Tackett always hits the mark

He is a frequent speaker at various grass roots Democratic meetings in the Ft Worth area and his programs are intelligent and understandable by folks who don't marinate in statistics.

Highly recommend inviting to speak if you are in the North Texas area
