This is getting old. He bought his House seat. He bought his Senate seat. Now he is trying to buy the Attorney General seat. He is the Oligarch of Texas politics.
Bay Area’s Senator Money Mayes Middleton is running for Texas Attorney General and he is doing exactly what he did to win his State Representative seat and his State Senate seat, self funding his campaign. According to his report Middleton has a $10 MILLION loan to himself along with a meager fundraising total of $166,308.
When he ran for his Senate seat he raised $1,685,523 with $1.6 MILLION coming from Money Mayes himself leaving just over $35,000 coming from political suckers or those who are trying to suck up to Mayes for favors. When he ran for the House he raised $3.2 MILLION, with $2.4 MILLION coming from his own pocket. He won 56-43. His opponent raised $4000. Now he vowed to use $10 MILLION of his money to buy the AGs office.
$140,662 of the remainder of his fundraising totaling $166,308 came from 15 individuals/PACs giving $5000 or more. You can see the list below.
And you wonder why I call him “Money”?
