The reports are in, and Wendy Davis outraised Greg Abbott $12.2 million to $11.5 million from July 1 to December 31 across her three fundraising committees.
The stats from Wendy's report are impressive: 85 percent of her 84,704 individual donations were under $50, as over 71,843 people supported her campaign. She has donors from all 254 counties in Texas, and in-state money makes up 70 percent of her haul.
Minutes after Wendy's expectation-besting report was released, Greg Abbott's team announced his haul: $11.5 million over the same six-month period.
In GIF-form, here's how Burnt Orange Report feels about this exciting news.
When we got the news that Wendy Davis raised $12.2 million across all three committees since July 1, we were all:
|
That's way higher than the $10 million that was initially anticipated from the Davis campaign.
|
Then Abbott's total came out. $11.5 million. Wait, did Wendy out-raise Abbott during the 6 months in which they were directly competing for gubernatorial cash??
|
OMG SHE DID!!

Every-blogger dance!

While pundits want to count Wendy Davis out and fail to appreciate the enthusiasm she inspires in Texans who want a better future for all of us, those of us who believe in Wendy know what this report is finally showing everyone else...
IT'S ON. |
