HOUSTON – There is more money in Texas politics than ever before. No doubt in the case of Texas House races, where tens of millions have been raised. On Monday, the third-party group Texas House Democratic Campaign Committee announced over $10 million raised thus far in 2020. “There is no contest that is more significant than control of the Texas House in the entire country,” said Mark Jones, a professor of political science at Rice University. Once the smoke clears post-Election Day officials are expecting over $40 million to be raised and spent on Texas House races.
