O’Rourke has acknowledged that his group sent more than $1 million to Democratic groups in the Texas House. But he’s said the money had no strings attached and didn’t demand any actions as Paxton has claimed. He said they simply were supporting Democrats like any other political action committee is allowed to do in the name of supporting free speech.
The case continues, even though the Democrats who fled the state have returned and the redistricting maps are now passed.
Paxton may still be winning a larger battle against O’Rourke by forcing him and Powered By People into court, where they’ve now had to spend nearly $400,000 in legal fees on the case, according O'Rourke. And until Friday’s ruling, the group’s accounts were frozen, making it unable to do any of its usual activities.
