Looks like Texas Alliance For Life is doing "pay to play" advertising for some candidates.

And then there is a $17k donation from Texas House Leadership Fund to Texas Alliance For Life on 03/14. Right after TAFL had spent $16,657 on mailers for Capriglione & Cosper ($13k on 02/28), and Clardy ($3.6k on 03/02), all candidates that THL had supported. #txlege
I know stuff like this has just been “politics”. This is the kind of thing the Empower World does, specifically with the New Leadership PAC (which I’ve talked about before). Please, let’s be better than that and not stoop to that level.
Ok, misspoke when I said New Leadership PAC is the one I've talked about before. Yes, they are ET related, but I haven't done a deep dive. The Young Conservatives Of Texas PAC is the ET related one where you give money and then a mailer goes out. #txlege
Pulling this reply into the main thread since it was caught in a mid-thread reply
And this reply as well
Guess what? I missed this one.
On 02/19 Texas Alliance For Life spent $3,479.12 for a mailer for John Raney
On 02/23, the John Raney campaign donated $3,500 to TAFL
The donation wasn’t for $500 or even $10,000 because I so believe in the cause. It was for the cost of the mailer
