Fox News
A group of Texas Democrats staying in Washington, D.C., after leaving the Lone Star State earlier this month will receive about $600,000 to help finance the trip, former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke said Thursday.
O’Rourke, who founded the political group Powered by People, disclosed the $600,000 amount Thursday during a virtual news conference, the Tribune reported. The figure represented an update of a previous tally of more than $500,000 raised for the state lawmakers, the report said. "We’re gonna make sure that we get the full amount, 100 percent of what’s raised, to y’all," O’Rourke told the lawmakers in an online call, the Tribune reported. "It is the least that we could do for everything that you are all doing for us. We want to do more." "Grateful to Beto and all folks who have contributed to our efforts – many small donations have come in too," Texas state Rep. Armando Walle, D-Houston, told the Tribune. "We’re all working together to raise those resources. We’re not there yet, but that’s why we’re on the phones, making those calls."
