The accompanying charts break down Cornyn’s $9.8 million in big-check campaign money by the economic and ideological interests of his donors. Significantly, 93 percent of this money came from business interests. Another 4 percent of Cornyn’s big-check money came from ideological interests—most of which have close business ties. Cornyn’s two top ideological donors—Texans for Lawsuit Reform ($145,000) and the Associated Republicans of Texas ($144,000)—for example, both get most of their PAC funds from business executives. Finally, labor interests, led by a Dallas Teamsters local, supplied a negligible part of Cornyn’s war chest.
