DMN: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has raised historic $43 million for re-election campaign

Abbott raised over $9 million during the fundraising period from July 1-Dec. 31 last year.

Via the great Gromer Jeffers Jr.:

Gov. Greg Abbott has a staggering $43.3 million to spend on his re-election campaign, a major hurdle for any of the nine Democrats trying to replace him.

According to figures obtained by The Dallas Morning News, Abbott raised over $9 million during the fundraising period from July 1-Dec. 31 last year. Allowing for some spending, his campaign fund rose from $41 million in the summer to $43.3 million at the beginning of 2018.

Abbott is expected to add to his fundraising total and, perhaps, exceed the $48 million he spent in his 2014 race against Democrat Wendy Davis.
