AUSTIN, Texas — Gubernatorial hopeful Beto O’Rourke raised $27.63 million between Feb. 20 and June 30, the most a state-level candidate in Texas has ever raised in one reporting period, his campaign said Friday.
In fundraising, O’Rourke likely still trails incumbent GOP Gov. Greg Abbott, who hasn’t released any numbers.
But at minimum, the Democrat’s huge haul means he’ll be able to advertise steadily in the state’s 20 media markets this fall.
