With political lines up in the air ahead of redistricting, fundraising in legislative campaigns a bit anemic

Something amazing happened this past week: legislators managed to get their semiannual campaign finance reports in on time. Alternatively, of course, that could mean the Texas Ethics Commission is working lightning fast. It’s all relative.

Regardless, the July semiannual reports are in and y’all are clearly holding your checkbooks close.

With district lines up in the air, donors seem to be holding back on major giving. Rounding out the donor names are a who’s who of the lobby as well as members’ colleagues and friends.
