Campaign spending: Top 4th quarter political donation recipients in Texas in 2020

Campaigncash48

These were the political organizations that received the most money from campaign donations in Texas from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 2020, according to the Federal Election Commission.

Donations made to political groups or candidates must be disclosed under state law for greater transparency in elections. While Congress created the Federal Election Commission to oversee federal elections in 1974, each state is left to regulate its local elections. The Government Accountability Office reviews current campaign finance law and makes recommendations for keeping the laws relevant.
