Well, they say an honest politician is one who stays bought. In that sense, and, probably ONLY that sense, billionaire George Soros is likely to be well-pleased with his purchase of Other big checks to O\u2019Rourke\u2019s campaign came from the American Federation of Teachers PAC and $100,000 from Nancy Sanders of Dallas.<\/p>\n Abbott\u2019s top contributor was Midland oilman S. Javaid Anwar<\/a>, a prolific GOP donor who has given the governor\u2019s campaign nearly $870,000 since February. Twice, Abbott has appointed Anwar<\/a> to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Several others contributed $500,000 apiece, including Dallas telecom billionaire Kenny Troutt<\/a>, California real estate billionaire Edward Roski Jr.<\/a>, Houston road contractor James \u201cDoug\u201d Pitcock Jr.<\/a> and Houston Rockets owner and restaurateur Tilman Fertitta<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nBeta<\/del> Beto O’Rourke. To be fair, he is neither the only buyer nor the only big-payment buyer – a couple formerly from California who moved to solidly Democrat Austin also put down a million on Puto<\/del> Beto. In campaign finance disclosures, current Governor Abbot garnered multiple six-figure donations, while over half of Beto’s buyers were from out of state. (In the interests of fairness – so are a lot of Abbot’s. It may be a Texas election, but big-ticket spenders from all over the country want a piece of the action.)<\/p>\n\n
