“Campaign Finance Reports Show Pat Curry Out-Raising Devvie Duke in HD 56 Race”
By Matt Kyle
[COMMENTS FROM DONNA GARNER: Please notice that Pat Curry (candidate for Republican House District 56 -- Waco area) is backed heavily by Texans for Lawsuit Reform.
For those who may not know this, Texans for Lawsuit Reform (TLR) is a very wealthy group that backed the effort to remove Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton from office.
TLR backed the disgraced Speaker of the House Dade Phelan and is still backing Phelan and his loyalists.
TLR backs the most liberal members of the Texas Legislature and is against conservative reform.
TLR supports Niki Haley for President instead of Donald Trump.
I am very thankful that Devvie Duke is NOT backed by TLR, and the fact that TLR does back Pat Curry tells us voters that he is a sold-out RINO – Republican in Name Only.
It is these RINO’s, both in Texas and in the U. S. Congress, who are responsible for caving to the Dems and pushing our nation into chaos.
We certainly do not need another RINO such as Pat Curry in our Texas House.
Devvie Duke is a sold-out conservative who will make a dedicated, conservative representative in the Texas House.]

In the House District 13 race, incumbent Angelia Orr, R-Itasca, has raised about $83,000 with a large amount of support from Texas PACs…
Orr's campaign also spent about $100,000 in that same period, with nearly $46,000 spent on advertising. An additional $6,000 in advertising was reported as in-kind donations.
Much of Orr's donations came from political action committees and similar organizations.

Hunter also does not have a website, but said he is working to get a website up and running.
