With the 2018 Texas primaries tomorrow, here are a few last-minute election tidbits:
Soros’s current target is Bexar County, Texas, District Attorney Nico LaHood, Peter Hasson reports in the Daily Caller. LaHood is a Democrat who opposes sanctuary cities and describes himself as “a conservative guy.”
Bexar County, which includes San Antonio, is the fourth most-populous county in Texas. Knocking off LaHood would be a significant step forward for the Soros agenda.
Soros has already blown through around $70,000 supporting LaHood’s primary opponent, Joe Gonzales, by way of Texas Justice & Public Safety, a political action committee or PAC. The sum includes more than $30,000 devoted to mailers attacking LaHood as “bigoted,” “racist,” and “Islamophobic” in both the English and Spanish languages.
U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke, an El Paso Democrat, once again reported raising more money than Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz in what is shaping up to be an intense general election matchup.
Over the first 45 days of 2018, O’Rourke raised $2.3 million — almost three times more than Cruz’s $803,000, according to new reports filed by Cruz and O’Rourke with the Federal Election Commission.
O’Rourke spent $2 million, while Cruz spent $1.2 million, according to the filings. They also show a narrowing cash-on-hand gap: O’Rourke reported having $4.9 million in the bank, compared to Cruz’s $6 million.
I want to encourage all of my many Texas friends to vote in the primary for Governor Greg Abbott, Senator Ted Cruz, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, and Attorney General Ken Paxton. They are helping me to Make America Great Again! Vote early or on March 6th.

Hey @AnniesListTX: I noticed that a grand total of 5 candidates out of the 23 you're supporting this cycle don't already have "Rep." in front of their names. https://t.co/v38kUuoJGT Seems like your goal has shifted to "Incumbent Democrat Protection"…
