Who funds True Texas Project?

For a group that has been around for 15 years I am surprised at their fundraising totals.

TTP over 15 years raised $315,612. $184,216 came from 7 donors donating at least $2,000. $116,731 was donated by Timothy Dunn and Defend Texas Liberty. Dunn and Farris Wilks created and funded Defend Texas Liberty. You can see the donation breakdown here. As you recall DTL was disbanded after Texas Monthly exposed them for meeting with a known white supremacist Nick Fuentes. Google Nick Fuentes. Here is a sample:

Fuentes is documented by the ADL including “On a livestream episode, Fuentes “jokingly” denied the Holocaust and compared Jews burnt in concentration camps to cookies in an oven.” 

Timothy Dunn also created Empower Texans which is also no longer in business. Empower Texans donated $31,000. Also our State Senator Mayes Middleton donated $13,000. The two billionaires Dunn and Wilks are all over this organization as well as others such as the new Texas United for a Conservative Majority. They donated $40,000 to TTP. Make what you will about this information. Here are the top donors:
