Dark Money in Texas Senate Race | Dallas News

A super PAC backing Ken Paxton’s Senate run just received over a million dollars from Preserve Texas, sparking a fiery FEC complaint from his opponent. Accusations swirl that the nonprofit is being used to secretly funnel “dark money” past federal limits, with Paxton’s own treasurer allegedly steering the ship. The complaint claims Preserve Texas’ nonprofit shell hides true donors and blurs the line between independent advocacy and illegal campaign coordination. While Lone Star Liberty insists it’s fully compliant, the FEC is paralyzed without enough commissioners to launch an investigation — leaving voters in the dark as election day looms. This high-stakes Texas race is a glaring example of how anonymous, big-money donations are reshaping American elections — and whether transparency can catch up before the votes are cast.
