The four-way GOP battle to replace Ken Paxton @KenPaxtonTX as chief law officer in Texas is poised to burn through millions of dollars.
Texas Sen. David M. "Mayes" Middleton (R-11) @mayes_middleton is sitting on the largest cash pile, nearly all of which is from a $10 million loan from himself.
Aaron F. Reitz @aaron_reitz , whom Paxton endorsed, has received three $250,000 donations. Reitz served as Assistant Attorney General for the United States Department of Justice before stepping down to run.
Sen. Joan Huffman (R-11) @joanhuffman has the backing of Buc-ee's owner Arch “Beaver” Aplin III.
And U.S. Rep. Chip Roy (R-21) @chiproytx - with the highest profile among them - comes with a long list of donors, and cash from the House Freedom Fund.
