Raising Campaign Cash: Sid "The C*nt" Miller for Texas Agriculture Commissioner

January 23, 2022

 

Even Greg Abbott thinks referring to a woman as a “cunt” is reprehensible. From the Dallas Observer:

Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who has endorsed Donald Trump, condemned the tweet in a release. “The language is reprehensible and is an embarrassment. No true Texas gentleman would ever talk this way,” Abbott said.

Yeah right. Abbott endorsed a rotten human being who porked a porn star and mocked a disabled American. I am waiting to hear trump make fun of Abbott for running under a tree that was being cut down resulting in his own disability. Referring to anyone as a “cunt” is reprehensible but in the case of Sid Miller, it is well deserved.

According to the Texas Ethics Committee The Cunt raised $126,000, $116,000 from 28 donors who gave between $1000 and $10,000. He also loaned his campaign $200,000.

Sid Miller, like Trump is a rotten human being. Prior to 2016 anyone who used this slur towards a woman would have been run out of the state. Now it is a badge of honor for many Texans, including his donors.

Raising Campaign Cash: State Representative "Money" Mayes Middleton

January 21, 2022

State Representative Money Mayes Middleton is running for the Texas Senate. He has a bunch of suckers donating to his campaign.

According to the Texas Ethics Commission Money Mayes only raised $35,523 from a bunch of suckers including the Galveston County Tax Accessor, Cheryl Johnson who gave him $1000. A total of 101 gullible suckers gave Money Mayes anywhere from $5000 to $5.00. He doesn’t need it.

Money Mayes reported a total of $1,685,523. $1,650,000 came from his own deep pockets. Money has own money to spend and has become the sugar daddy of the district. He will probably set up a fund to put another Qanon republican on the CCISD school board. His challengers for SD11 hasn’t raised any money to speak of. Robert Mitchell President of the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership only raised $1000 and Bianca Gracia raised only $29,000 most coming from in-kind donations.

Mitchell represents the true conservatives of the Republican Party and would have been a reasonable Senator. Unfortunately Money Mayes will smother the shit out of him with his unlimited pockets.


Raising Campaign Cash: Save Texas Now

January 20, 2022

From The Houston Chronicle

If you are wondering who paid for mailers for the HISD Qanon candidates, look no more.

Save Texas Now is a PAC with treasurer Angela M. Box living at 2626 Fountain View Dr. #451. Save Texas Now raised $128,832 mainly from one person, Lynn Lasher, CEO of Somebody’s Mother’s Chocolate Sauce LLC. Lynn donated $100,000 and $$19,872.35. The remainder coming from a few donations.

Save Texas Now, or Lynn Lasher, paid $19,872.35 for a HISD runoff mailer. Save Texas Now, or Lynn, then donated $100,000 to Louie Gohmert for Texas Attorney General. Lynn seems like a wonderful MAGAt.



Raising Campaign Cash: State Representative Dennis Paul HD129

January 20, 2022

Dennis doesn’t seem to be too smart when it comes to fundraising.

According to the Texas Ethics Commission he only raised $61,870. 60 donors provided $49,760 of this total with an average of $843 per donor. 109 donors provided just $11,730 donating between $18 and $350 for an average of $107 per donor.

For someone who can easily cruz to victory Paul seems to enjoy wasting his donors money. Of the $61,870 raised he spent $32,516 on ads, $12,780 on Overhead, and $6798 on fundraising expenses for a total of $52,094 leaving him a balance of $13,367 Cash On Hand with a looming $111,000 loan.

Lucky for him he has no serious challenger.

NOTE: Dennis is a suck up. He likes wearing his ill fitting NRA hat at the polls as if that will get him any more votes. Last year he took a trip to Washington DC and stayed at the Trump Hotel.

Suck up.

Raising Campaign Cash: Vidal Martinez for County Judge (Qanon republican)

January 19, 2022

 The Qanon Republican Party has their candidate.

Vidal Martinez is running for County Judge against Lina Hidalgo probably because they couldn’t find a woman with the last name of Hidalgo to confuse voters. Martinez raised $514,585 with $100,000 coming from a personal loan. Of the remaining $414,585, 14 donors contributed $340,000 or 82% of all her donations. The remaining 18% donated $74585. Unlike other candidates Martinez relied on the deep pockets of every day, common, peasants donating $1000 or more. Her top 14 donors are:


Raising Campaign Cash: Lee Merritt for Texas Attorney General

January 19, 2022

Lot’s of socialist money being poured into this campaign. 

The socialists of America has figured out a way to infiltrate the Democratic Party by running in deep, deep, deep, blue districts such as in Hays County (Austin). They pick and choose just a few candidates unlike what they did back in 2016 when they adopted the “Run Everywhere, Lose Everywhere” approach. From an early post:

Out of 80 candidates endorsed by , only 7 won. 2 were incumbents in deep blue districts. 1 was unopposed.  4 were all in very blue districts wiping out their general election opponents. It’s not like they were endorsing in tough competitive states like Texas, although those that did, lost. All of them. One raised over a $1 Million and lost 70-30 in the primary.

It looks like they have picked Lee Merritt to run in Texas for AG. Texas is far from being deep, deep, blue. It’s a possible swing state if that. In his latest report Merritt raised a total of $404,615 which is pretty good for a primary. $185,333 are unitemized. More on that later.

Of the remaining 2146 donations of $219,281 that were itemized, only $70,085, 31%, were from Texans. $149,196, 69%, came from out of state donors. $60,751 came from donors from California. $22,298 came from Real Justice PAC a socialist Organization based out of California. Real Justice raised $25,880 with $21,445 coming from cash donations, which is hard to believe. I’ve written about Real Justice before:

According to the Texas Ethics Commission Real Justice PAC has raised $298,050 with $200,000 coming from one individual, Cari Tuna from San Fransisco. Only $10,200 came from Texans, and only $600 came from Harris County.

About that $185,333. Merritt listed unitemized contributions of $185,333. According to the Texas Ethics Commission all donations over $90 must be reported as well as all donations submitted electronically. So this $185,333 must be donations of $90 or less and in cash. That is a lot of cash.




Raising Campaign Cash: Republican Candidates running for Harris County Judge

January 19, 2022

Nine republicans have filed for Harris County Judge. Most have no idea of what they are doing and their fundraising reflects this. The republicans found a Latina named  Martinez to challenge Hidalgo probably because they couldn’t find someone named Hidalgo to run in order to cause confusion.

Martinez deserves a post all by herself and that will come soon. It will be very interesting. Kibosh loaned himself $60,000, raised $15,000 which included a $10,000 donation from his own pocket. Martian Dixon seems to have some fundraising capability.
