Fundraising Totals for All Major-Party Senate Candidates

Totals are based on reports filed with the Texas Ethics Commission covering the period January 1, 2009 through February 20, 2010 for candidates with March primary opponents. Totals for candidates without primary opponents cover January 1, 2009 through 12/31/2009. "Total Raised" amounts do not include loans. Note that senators serve four year terms and the money that they raised and spent before January 2009 is not covered here. The 15 senators who do not face reelection until 2012 are included below, with their "Status" designated as "NR," for "Not Running."
