Filing review and source trail

Partial review · checked September 24, 2026

The candidate’s available 2025–2026 TEC reports were reviewed through June 30, 2026. No explicitly identified pro-Israel PAC receipt was located; that finding does not establish a corporate-PAC-free campaign.

Review scope
Partial: PAC-name screening of the 2025–2026 Texas Ethics Commission reports through June 30, 2026 is done. Review of large individual donors and full PAC and independent-spending tracing is still outstanding.

How we checked

  • Matched the candidate's Texas Ethics Commission filer ID and 2025–2026 reports in the September 24, 2026 bulk export.
  • Screened contributor names for identified Israel-policy organizations; a plain word search was rejected because it matched donor surnames.
  • Outstanding: list every PAC contributor, review individual donors giving $25,000 or more against independent advocacy sources, and trace independent spending.

PAC & IE receipts

Direct AIPAC, other pro-Israel PAC, IE support and IE opposition remain separate.
