Tia Rios Ybarra, who is running against State Rep. Juan Escobar in the Democratic Primary in House District 43, is continuing to rack up GOP money. From her 8 day out report, we see GOP contributions as follows:
$25,000 from Bob Perry
$40,000 from Texans for Lawsuit Reform (plus $11,500 for a poll)

$4,000 in kind donation from Joe Garcia, a lobbyist with Craddick connections.
