campaign finance

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Musk is once again signaling his interest in Texas politics by donating to a PAC targeting "soft-on-crime" Democratic judges across the state.

A Denton City Council member's campaign finance reform proposal, which he said “could very well be the toughest” in the state, seeks to cap total campaign contributions from Denton donors at $20,000 and non-Denton donors at $5,000, as well as limit people outside of the city to $500 per individual or political action committee donation.

Denton City Council candidates submitted their final campaign reports for the 2024 municipal election last week revealing thousands in developer donations, contributions to support each other and a push to put more development-friendly candidates on the council.

A committee that included some of Dallas' biggest corporations, senior executives and nonprofits convened to promote the $1.25 billion bond package that passed Saturday.

With Saturday’s election almost here, a majority of Denton City Council candidates’ final pre-election campaign finance reports were filed Friday, showcasing more out-of-town developer donations, support from residents and some issues with reports.

For the past several years, out-of-town developers and development-related political action committees donating to the local politicians’ campaigns has been an issue that one council member and former mayoral candidate argued affected the public’s confidence.

End Citizens United and the Campaign Legal Center asserted Cruz could have broken campaign finance rules.

Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn has amassed nearly $50,000 in contributions for his reelection campaign, according to a campaign finance report filed Jan. 16.

Republican Wendy Burgess, the incumbent Tarrant County tax assessor-collector, is leading both her Republican and Democratic opponents in campaign funding ahead of the March 5 primary.

Paxton, a Republican who beat impeachment charges this year, has not reported at least a half dozen properties in Florida, Hawaii, Oklahoma and Utah to the state.

Most North Texas House Republicans signed on to a letter condemning Defend Texas Liberty PAC after its president met with a Holocaust denier. Three declined to do so, highlighting a rift in the Republican party.

In the lead up to Tuesday’s trial, Patrick has been under tremendous scrutiny and pressure as Paxton allies and opponents search for signs of which way he may be leaning.
