We Can Keep It PAC is the largest State level filer giving to Tim O'Hare.
The PAC has taken in $231,442 from 22 filers, but it really is the Hollis Sullivan show. He's given $210,500.
Hollis is the CEO of Veritas Energy (yeah, oil & gas) and lives in Westworth Village.

Defend Texas Liberty is on the Tim O'Hare state level filer list.
Defend Texas Liberty ($10 mil this year) is just the Tim Dunn / Farris Wilks show (with a dash of Windi Grimes & Phil Huffines thrown in).

Did you watch the @CNN documentary "Deep In The Pockets Of Texas"? If so, you saw two Texas billionaires featured, Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks. What will follow is where the money they gave from January 1, 2015 to Current went, directly and via PAC's where they are major donors
In the list below, the "Primary" PACs list for Wilks and Dunn I'm leveraging:
Empower Texans
Texas Right to Life
Texans for Fiscal Responsibility
Texas Homeschool Coalition
