GOP Runoff Candidates Raise
Huge Sums for House Contests
Texas Statewide & Legislature Runoff Cash
Capitol Inside
May 18, 2022
Twenty of 32 Republicans have each raised more than a half-million dollars for Texas House races on Tuesday's primary runoff ballot as the first half of an election year with a record-shattering price tag careens to an end.
Four House candidates have generated seven-figure sums for campaigns that are approaching the finish line in overtime. State Reps. Stephanie Klick of Fort Worth and Glenn Rogers of Graford have rounded up $1.5 million and $1.3 million respectively for re-election bids that will be settled next week in second round fights with challengers who've run to the far right.
Klick, who's squaring off with David Lowe in OT, raised more from supporters in the past three months than any other House candidates in runoffs with contributions of $955,000 according to the report she filed this week with the Texas Ethics Commission. Rogers had the second most successful fundraising effort on the House battlefield in round two with almost $760,000 in donations that he listed on his runoff report to the state.
A pair of GOP contenders in open House races - Elisa Chan of San Antonio and David Glasheen of Lubbock - have had the largest war chests in the runoff competition with $1.9 million and $1.7 million respectively in contributions and loans combined. Glasheen has bankrolled his bid with $1.65 million in loans. Chan, a former city council member, has loaned her campaign $1.75 million while raising more than $270,000 from supporters.
With contributions of $585,000 in three months, Galveston Republican Terri Leo Wilson raised more from donors in the runoff than any of the other candidates in open races for the Legislature's lower chamber. A former State Board of Education member who's a far right original, Leo Wilson reaped more than $500,000 from the Texans for Lawsuit Reform PAC in the past three months to go with $127,000 in loans.
Republicans Mano DeAyala of Houston and Laura Hill of Fort Worth reported contributions of $465,000 and $462,000 during the runoff period as House hopefuls who are attempting to come from behind in OT next week. DeAyala took the lead over runoff rival Shelley Barineau in the donor dollar dash total with $945,000. But Barineau is close behind with almost $940,000 in an open race for a seat in the wealthiest district in the state's largest city.
Nine House contests in next week's runoff have combined price tags in the seven-digit range including three that surpassed $2 million with a week to go before the runoff vote. San Antonio Mark Dorazio and Chan have rounded up $2.6 million collectively while GOP candidates Carl Tepper of Lubbock and Glasheen have corralled a combined $2.5 million. Aledo Republican Mike Olcott and Rogers the incumbent raised slightly more than $2 million between the two of them before heading into the final stretch.
The GOP candidates in runoffs with fundraising hauls of a half-million dollars or more for House campaigns include State Rep. Kyle Kacal of College Station at $981,000, Laura Hill of Fort Worth at $862,000, Barron Casteel of New Braunfels, Ellen Troxclair of Austin at $761,000, Mark Dorazio of San Antonio at $704,000, Federick Frazier of McKinney at $639,000, Eric Bowlin of Plano at $604,000, Carrie Isaac of San Marcos at $554,000, Patrick McGuinness of Round Rock at 529,000 and Ben Bumgarner of Flower Mound at $508,000.
