AUSTIN, Texas — Democratic mega donor George Soros and an Austin-area couple each gave $1 million to Beto O’Rourke’s campaign to unseat Gov. Greg Abbott.
While Texans gave $14.5 million to the Democrat’s campaign, nearly half of O’Rourke’s record-breaking $27.6 million fundraising haul came from out-of-state donors.
The details come from an O’Rourke campaign finance report so huge it took several days to upload to the Texas Ethics Commission website.
