Texas Senator Ted Cruz has raised more than $5 million over the past three months as the race for his senate seat amps up.
Fox News reported Cruz raked in $5.4 million from July to September 2023, an increase from the $4.4 million he raised earlier in the year, from April to June.
“The momentum and excitement to re-elect Senator Ted Cruz could not be more tangible. With $5.4 million raised in Q3, we are seeing more and more Texans animated to re-elect Ted Cruz and ensure that Texas remains the nation’s model state for conservative values and ideas. Democrats better gear up, because Senator Cruz is ready for a hell of a fight to keep Texas, Texas,” Cruz spokesman Nick Maddux told Fox.
The Democrat primary field for Cruz’s seat is already crowded with three challengers, including U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, former Nueces County District Attorney Mark Gonzalez, and State Rep. Carl Sherman Sr.
