Legislative campaign finance reports show some surprise numbers, lots of familiar faces

But some of those surprise numbers are being posted by those who are new to the game

The first campaign finance reports ahead of what is expected to be a competitive campaign season are starting to trickle out of the Texas Ethics Commission. With potentially vulnerable Democrats and Republicans alike on the ballot in the Legislature, Texas has perhaps not seen so many competitive seats in at least a decade.

The numbers this early on are not entirely illuminating –– the parties still haven’t lined up challengers in some competitive seats, but we now have access to the fundraising numbers for some of the high-stakes races.
