Rep. Beto O’Rourke still faces an uphill battle in his race against Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, but the El Paso Democrat is creating an energy that many in his party say they’ve never seen in Texas.
Written off as a long shot, O’Rourke is attracting new attention in his bid to unseat Cruz, thanks in part to stunning fundraising numbers. In the first 45 days of the year, O’Rourke raised $2.3 million to Cruz’s $800,000. O’Rourke boasts that he isn’t taking any PAC money, instead relying on $25 contributions.
