Hotlist Races by the 30-Day Numbers

With 30-day campaign reports published this week, we present the topline fundraising numbers for the major-party candidates in the races highlighted in the Texas Weekly Hotlist.

In addition, we include the top three donors to each of those candidates. Third-party candidates are being omitted for one simple reason — with the exception of a single candidate, HD-94 Libertarian candidate Robert Harris, no third-party candidate reported any fundraising activity.

In format, we follow the hotlist's priorities, listing first the red races, followed by the orange races and then then the yellow races. The candidate representing the party that currently holds the seat is listed first.
