The GOP Race for Texas Attorney General Got Expensive

New York Times: “An already bitter Republican race for Attorney General of Texas intensified in its final days, fueled by after an influx of last minute campaign spending.”

“For months, Chip Roy, a hard-line congressman who has at times broken with President Trump, had been outspent by State Senator Mayes Middleton, his self-funded opponent. But in the last week of the contest, Mr. Roy reported raising more than $8 million, providing a late boost to his campaign.”

“Mr. Roy used the cash to advertise on television and in mailers, rivaling an ad blitz from Mr. Middleton. Together they deluged Republican voters with negative messaging.”
