Rubio Looks to Texas for Campaign Cash

[TexasTowelie]

Fresh off becoming the fourth major candidate to announce a run for president, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio is heading to Texas next week to raise money for his new campaign.

The Florida Republican will be in Houston on Monday and Dallas on Tuesday, according to one of his top backers in the state, Dallas-based investor George Seay. The Texas trip is expected to follow post-announcement fundraisers in Boston and New York.

"We really have three people from Texas running from president — [Ted] Cruz, [Rick] Perry and [Jeb] Bush," Seay said. “They all have lots of fans down here, and the fact that this is his third stop” speaks to the support Rubio is seeing in Texas.

"I think a lot of people have already signed on and will continue signing on," added Seay, who served as Texas finance chairman of Perry's 2012 presidential campaign.

It remains to be seen if Rubio can be competitive
