GOP donor floods Chip Roy with $2.75M for Texas AG runoff
Texas Rep. Chip Roy's attorney general bid received a $2.75 million infusion from GOP megadonor Alex Fairly, including $1.75 million in new money and forgiveness of a $1 million loan, boosting Roy as early voting begins in the runoff against Mayes Middleton; Middleton has poured self-funding into the race, while Roy's fundraising also includes other large donors and outsized ad buys, with the campaign drawing attention to experience in office and endorsements; spending is expected to surge in the final days before the May 26 runoff.
