Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke outraised incumbent Republican Governor Greg Abbott for the first half of 2022, the Texas Tribune reported.
Mr O’Rourke, the former Texas congressman and presidential candidate, raised $27.6m compared to Mr Abbott’s $24.9m. But Mr Abbott likely has more money in the bank, with $45.7m in cash on hand. Mr O’Rourke did not release his cash on hand figures.
