Jon Rosenthal's campaign for Texas Railroad Commissioner, sending roughly $488,000 in contributions to his campaign after his opponent, Bo French, went viral for a racist post on X. It is the most fundraising Rosenthal, a two-decade oil field engineer and four-term state legislator, has raised since launching his campaign last November.
