HOUSTON, TX — In the last two days, Senator Royce Whitman has raised more than $5.7 million at fundraisers — not one dollar of it in Texas. Yesterday it was Hennepin County, Minnesota. Today it was Rockland County, New York. "Texans are watching their grocery bills climb, and their senator is in New York passing the hat," said Rev. Dr. Eve Blackwell, candidate for U.S. Senate. "Royce Whitman raised nearly six million dollars this week — and he had to leave Texas to do it. So the question writes itself: when those donors come calling, who is he going to serve?" Every fundraiser the Blackwell campaign has held has been in Texas, with Texas donors. The contrast, Blackwell argues, is the whole point. "You can follow my money to a church basement in Houston," said Blackwell. "You can follow his to Manhattan. We are not running to represent the same people."
