Dewhurst Raises Disappointing $1.54 Million From Donors in Q4

David Dewhurst only raised $1.54 Million from donors in Q4.

While far from chicken-feed, those numbers seem really disappointing to me, especially given that he pulled in $2.64 million in donor contributions in Q3. Those are just donor numbers, and we don’t know much of Dewhurst’s own considerable wealth he tossed in until he tells us, or his official FEC numbers go up (there’s usually a significant lag between the campaign announcement and the FEC putting the numbers up).

As the establishment candidate and presumptive favorite, Dewhurst should be running away in the fundraising race. He’s not.
