AT&T Leads Donors To Craddick’s PAC

By Vince Leibowitz  on Oct 16, 2007 in 2009 Speaker's Race      

Texans for Public Justice’s Lobby Watch has analyzed contributions going to the PACs of those candidates who are running for Speaker of the Texas House in 2009–all seven of them.

Of course, Craddick has received two-thirds of the money the PACS are reporting. A single donation from AT&T’s PAC of $50,00, in fact, accounts for more than half of all the money raised in the 2009 Speaker’s race to date.

Here are some graphs of top contributors to all the candidates:

    links from TechnoratiT lobbyists, associated PACs and ‘friends’ of the telecom giant. (It is, of course, also worth noting that AT&T was the leader in money given to House Speaker Tom Craddick and his PAC following the 80th Texas Legislature, which you can read abouthere). The big business GOP is clearly stepping up in this race, my question is, will the netroots? Check out Rosemary Lehmberg’s web site and see why she’s Ronnie Earle’s choice to carry the mantle of Texas’ leading political law enforcer.
