This is by far the best information I've seen about where the $ are coming from to fund Republican politics in Texas. Thank you. Also fascinating is the description of "source" on each donor's profile. I never knew damaged cars could be so profitable.

Thanks for the feedback. To me, if we just talk about “money in politics” it becomes this unknowable thing. If we can talk about it as “this billionaire and these are the companies they run”, it all of a sudden becomes more knowable. And once you are there, it’s something we can try to fight.

We really need campaign finance reform in Texas, and it isn't going to happen as long as Republicans are running the show.

Yep. They like the system just like it is. Although they will complain about the Leopards eating their faces when it doesn’t work out for them.
