FULL TITLE: Wendy Davis reports big donations from Planned Parenthood allies, Greg Abbott mines big-dollar millionaires

Democrat Wendy Davis collected $100,000 in the last month from Austin Planned Parenthood board member Aimee Boone and $100,000 from Emily’s List, a political committee that supports Democratic women who back abortion rights. Other big donors during the most recent reporting period included investor Rani Clasquin of Austin, $50,000; League City trial lawyer Ronald Krist, $50,000; and eight contributions of $25,000, including from Cecilia Boone and Suzanne Bartolucci. In addition, her most recent report shows that Planned Parenthood’s political committee spent $20,000 on behalf of a poll to gauge Davis’ standing in the race for the Democratic nomination for governor in March.

Davis reported raising $2.85 million in the latest period, between Jan. 24 and Feb. 22. She has $11 million on hand. Republican challenger Greg Abbott raised $2.5 million during the same period and has nearly $30 million in his campaign account.

Is there a list somewhere of ALL her donors? And is there a list of donors to Emily’s List and Annie’s List? I can’t seem to search up these things anymore.

I’m worried that her campaign is so weak she may not pull in the big national dollars to her sinkhole. That was going to be her value to our side.

She already has $12 million. She also has the ear of the Hollywood Left, who don't use money the same way. Also, Abbott will STILL have to get his message out, he doesn't need to keep pace. He does need to be visible.

You are right about their aborting their own base. That, IMO, is why they are pushing for amnesty. Major source of Democrat voters.
