Key Points:
- Senator John Cornyn of Texas has a substantial fundraising lead over his Republican runoff challenger, Attorney General Ken Paxton, with over $6.5 million raised since the primary election last month.
- Ken Paxton raised more than $1.9 million during the same period, with nearly half coming from a political action committee supporting his campaign.
- Democrat James Talarico has raised more than $5.8 million from donors contributing at least $200, with total fundraising exceeding $10 million when including smaller donations, surpassing both Republican candidates in total funds raised.
- Despite this, Cornyn and his supporting groups hold the largest cash reserves, with over $10 million available to spend as of the end of March, nearly three times Paxton’s funds and about $1 million more than Talarico.
