Abbott reels in big donors while O'Rourke relies on smaller contributions
AUSTIN — In the race for Texas governor, incumbent Greg Abbott and Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke are in their own arena when it comes to raising money.
Texas candidates released campaign reports Tuesday detailing contributions and expenditures between Jan. 21 and Feb. 19. While most of Abbott’s money is coming from a few wealthy donors, O’Rourke is relying on smaller amounts from more people, reports show.
About 43% of Abbott’s reported $3.8 million in contributions received over the reported period came from his top 10 donors, reports show.
This includes funding from his largest donor this period, Arcilia Acosta, who contributed $350,000 to the Abbott campaign. Acosta is the founder and CEO of Southwestern Testing Laboratories Engineers and on the board of regents for Texas Tech University.
