Jerry Jones makes last-minute, six-figure donation in Texas governor race [View all]
The latest round of political financing reports reveals Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones donated $500,000 to the re-election campaign of Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott.
Jones has been a longtime supporter of conservative political causes and candidates, so it comes as no surprise that hes supporting Abbott, though a donation this sizable this late in the race is certain to turn some heads.
As mysantonio.com noted in breaking the news, the contribution from Jones is the largest the billionaire has ever made in a statewide Texas election.
The news is also unique in that Abbott is favored to win the election over Democratic challenger Beto ORourke. The governor raised $8.8 million in the latest fundraising round, according to the Texas Ethics Commission. Abbott has $3.7 million on hand.
