Dennis Paul and Ryan Lee are running in the Republican primary for Texas HD129. Paul is the incumbent. Neither are great fundraisers.
Ryan Lee was considering a run for Houston City Council but instead let a policeman get a whooping by Council Member Martin. Ryan has now set his sights a bit higher and decided to challenge Dennis Paul in the primary. Ryan only raised $10,720, spent $4,779 and has about $5,800 left just prior to the primary. Not much to run a primary on.
Paul still has a problem fundraising carrying a $156,000 personal loan. This period he raised 85,621, spent $38,444 and has $116,486 COH. Half of his money came from PACs.
Paul is also endorsed by the Gun Nuts of America (NRA).
