John over at Bay Area Houston has noted that not all of Jose Medrano’s $30,000 (which he touted heavily late last year) isn’t all actually “donated,” and doesn’t come from that many people:
Looking at his ethics reports finds he raised about $30,000 with $15,000 coming from a loan to himself, $5000 from Bruce Sallee, the President of Texas Petroleum Investment Co, and $5000 from a Farmers Insurance PAC. (Jose is in the insurance industry.) So $25,000 of his $30,000 came from 3 individuals, with more than half from a loan. Leaving $5000 from 12 individuals.
