Paxton’s campaign said 2,343 donors contributed to the Republican attorney general in 12 days when a fundraising freeze lifted after the regular legislative session.
Suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Monday he raised $1.7 million in 12 days in his first chance to collect campaign donations after his impeachment in May.
Paxton’s team hailed the fundraising as a triumph in spite of the House impeachment, saying it came from 2,343 donors and marked a “personal post-session fundraising record.”
Paxton raised less than $400,000 during a comparable period in 2015 — the post-session fundraising period following a statewide election. He raised $1.4 million during the comparable period in 2019.
