National Democratic group was behind mysterious anti-Cruz super PAC
An anti-Ted Cruz super PAC that did not have to disclose its donors before Election Day was mostly funded by a top national Democratic group, a new filing with the Federal Election Commission reveals.
The anti-Cruz super PAC, Texas Forever, popped up in the final days of the Republican U.S. senator's re-election race against U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-El Paso, forming after the date that would have required it to report its donors before the election. The group went on to spend $2.3 million on a last-minute ad blitz against Cruz, who ended up beating O'Rourke by a small margin.
In its post-election filing Thursday with the FEC, Texas Forever said it had received $2.35 million in donations from Senate Majority PAC, the super PAC aligned with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that works to elect Democrats in the upper chamber. Texas Forever also got $10,000 from filmmaker James Brooks.
On Nov. 16, Texas Forever returned $58,000 to Senate Majority PAC, the filing shows.
