Defending the Republican majority is our sole mission this November. It’s an honor to fight alongside our leadership team, travel the country, and raise nearly $4.7 million in Q3. https://t.co/vBjF0ISnGZ

Gill’s impressive numbers came shortly after he pledged $1.1 million in funds to the NRCC to aid in close elections across the country. A press release from Gill further explained that he has given an additional $300,000 in direct contributions to help maintain the GOP’s House majority.
Gill’s fundraising prowess may give him a leg up in his bid to join House leadership, as he has announced his intention to run for chair of the powerful Oversight Committee.

Gill isn’t the only Texas Republican posting massive fundraising gains. Newcomer Brandon Herrera, the GunTuber who is looking to fill the open seat left by the scandal-plagued Tony Gonzales, has likewise had a significant round of fundraising in the final stretch of the campaign season.
More than 10,000 individual donors contributed to the internet celebrity’s campaign, giving him a nearly $1.3 million lift.
My favorite part about this huge Q3 number (aside from ensuring this seat stays red), is how we did it. Over 10,000 individual donors, you all, helping us get there. Not courting the billionaire circuit, no begging SuperPACs, just the voice of patriots. Let’s finish this 🇺🇸 https://t.co/CCMQ97DZZi

I’m proud to report that we just had our biggest quarter yet. Thanks to our thousands of small dollar donors, we have an incredible war chest for November. While my opponent makes cheap shots thinking she’ll hurt my support, the truth is we have more support than ever before. https://t.co/TJtQANZGeq

Meanwhile, Senate candidate Ken Paxton set his own fundraising record by securing $18 million in contributions in Q3. His totals are still trailing behind Democrat James Talarico in campaign fundraising, but Paxton has been able to overwhelm the race financially with big spending from outside groups and allies.
