Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) said Monday that he won't share the $38 million his campaign raised in the third quarter of the year with other Senate Democratic candidates.
"No," O'Rourke told a reporter who asked if he would share the funds with candidates in tighter races, according to the Washington Examiner.
"I'm focused on Texas. Most of our contributions have come from Texas. All of them have come from people. Not a dime from PACs," he said.
O'Rourke added that he is honoring "the commitment that those who've contributed to this campaign have made to me."
"If they want to contribute to someone else, they should do so. If they want to contribute to a campaign that's going to win this historic victory for Texas and the country, then I'm grateful for the contribution and I'm going to make the most of it, so that's what we're focused on," he said.
O'Rourke's comments come after The New York Times reported that O'Rourke's fundraising has caused tension in the Democratic Party, with some in the party feeling that O'Rourke should share the funds with candidates who are in better positions to win.
Recent polling has shown O'Rourke trailing his Republican opponent, Sen. Ted Cruz (R), by as many as nine percentage points ahead of next month's election.
O’Rourke announced on Friday that he raised more than $38 million in the third quarter of the year, money he said came from more than 800,000 contributions.
“It’s going to give us the resources we need to finish this campaign as strong as we possibly can,” O’Rourke said last week. “We are doing something absolutely historic.”
38 million and nothing to show for it except a bunch of used yard signs.
This guy is going to end up in a shallow hole somewhere out in the vastness of West Texas.
How socialist of them. Funny how Beto wants to take money from all Texans in taxes, but wont share his wealth. Typical.

This should be interesting!.......ping!
That explains a lot.
That’s not very ‘socialist’ of him.
It’s genetic, remember when Benghazi Clinton would not give some of her spare crime proceeds with the broke DNC?
Ex-cel-lent!
My cousins in Houston sent me an e-mail with a picture of them wearing those t-shirts. I told them they’ll make nice dust and grease rags for around their house after Cruz pounds him in the election.
Then Beto can fade back into obscurity, joining his friends the Castro Brothers of San Antonio.
This seems to confirm that Betamale is NOT even seriously thinking about winning the senate seat, but thinks he will run for the Pres.
Needs to take ComanChe into account. I hear her 2020 slogan will be “Bury My Heart at Ben and Jerry’s.”
My Puerto Rican friend says pendejo means public hair. Serious swear word.
...The DNC wants Betos’ money...
You talking about
Robert Francis O’Roarke?
HOUSTON (FOX 26) - Is the Beto bubble bursting despite record
fundraising by the Democratic candidate? A trio of reputable polls
this week has the incumbent Republican Senator Ted Cruz ahead of
O’Rourke by margins raning from 5 to 9 points.
And this from the same source above.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Democrat Beto O’Rourke said Friday that he raised more
than $38.1 million for his Texas Senate campaign in the last three months,
a record haul that more than triples rival Ted Cruz’s total despite recent
polls showing a widening lead for the Republican incumbent.
O’Rourke said the contributions came from 800,000-plus donors nationwide.
The El Paso congressman, who has refused support from outside political groups
and declined to hire consultants and pollsters, has become a star in national
liberal circles.
What happens to the unspent money after he loses?
><
I would be surprised if Hillary isn’t already working on that.
Lie much??
O’Roarke?
it’s O’Rourke
You raised them right.
I don’t think I could have restrained myself.
