Just hours after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a legal victory against a Beto O’Rourke-led political action committee, the two-time failed statewide candidate called on Democrats to declare all out war in regards to redistricting.
O’Rourke’s activist group, Powered by People, has openly bragged about assisting active Texas Democrats who have fled the state in order to block a number of the Republican majority’s legislative items, including vital aid for flood victims and a vote on a redraw of the state’s congressional maps. The chamber can not vote on the proposed legislation unless two-thirds of the legislature is present.
Powered by People is among the groups funding the absent Democrats. The lawmakers spent several days coordinating with Democrat governors, including J.D. Pritzker of Illinois and Jared Polis of Colorado, to come up with a plan to flee the Lonestar State in order to delay the vote on redistricting.
Many of the lawmakers have been staying in hotels funded by left-wing activist groups. This includes Powered by People, according to a report from ABC News. “Powered by People, a voter registration and mobilization group, has been donating to the Texas House Democratic Caucus — not members directly, or for any line-item expense — to help cover upfront costs for the group, such as lodging and transportation,” a spokesperson for O’Rourke’s group told the outlet.
