Wendy Davis, George P. Bush rake in big campaign bucks
AUSTIN, Texas —
Two of Texas' rising political stars said Monday they've raked in big fundraising bucks.
Republican George P. Bush raised money at a clip befitting his famous political pedigree, collecting $2 million for his campaign for land commissioner between Jan. 1 and June 30. Meanwhile, Democratic state Sen. Wendy Davis said she raised nearly $1 million just in the last two weeks of June.
Davis became a national sensation by leading a one-woman, 12-plus-hour filibuster on June 25 that delayed the Texas Legislature's passing of sweeping new limits on abortion statewide.
Her campaign said Davis raised $933,000 between June 17 and 30 — with $580,000 of that coming from Texas donors — and now has more than $1.06 million cash on-hand.
