his wife is loaded ... super wealthy ...
Francis O’Rourke is certainly wealthy through his wife’s family, but he does not use much of her wealth in trying for political office.
Instead they use OPM, and there are plenty of stories about the “dark money” outfits that direct donations to Dems and RINOs that can affect an election.
The fact that O’Rourke received a million dollar donation that he did not expect shows how corrupt the system is.
He certainly has received money from plenty of other Dem donors, and never asked about the funds provenance. See FB and other Silicon Valley billionaires, and their wives.
Any why does he spend $100 million to win an office that pays about $200,000 a year?
Her Father is worth some $500 million or so is the claim.
Accurate I don’t know.
