AUSTIN, Texas — The third biggest spender in Texas elections this year is a shadowy group that has not disclosed any information to the state, and is testing the limits of campaign ethics law, experts said.
Coulda Been Worse LLC has dumped more than $25 million into ads opposing Gov. Greg Abbott and other top Republicans, according to the media tracking company AdImpact. Since forming out of state in late August, Coulda Been Worse has not revealed its donors or leadership.
Ethics law experts and open government advocates say voters deserve to know who is trying to influence elections.
