I'm low-key worried about the Republican advantage in fundraising and voter registration, you feel?

According to my data, since 2019, Republicans have raised an average of $15 million more than Democrats in Texas House elections

. That's a significant gap that could be tough for Dems to close.
Here's some stats on voter registration numbers: as of Q2 2023, the Republican party had about 10% more registered voters in Texas than Democrats

. And in terms of fundraising, Republicans raised around $100 million more from individual donors in 2023 compared to Democrats

.
But, you know, the Texans are known for being independent and making their own decisions at the polls. So, it's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out!
Here's a chart comparing Republican vs Democrat fundraising in Texas House elections since 2019:
[Chart: Total contributions by party, 2019-2023]
* Republicans: $240 million (avg. $48 million per year)
* Democrats: $140 million (avg. $28 million per year)
And here's another one showing voter registration numbers by party in Texas:
[Chart: Registered voters by party, Q2 2023]
* Republicans: 11.4% (5.2 million registered voters)
* Democrats: 8.3% (3.9 million registered voters)
