A Texas politician has come under scrutiny for filing as a Republican after raising money from Democrats.
Katherine Culbert, a former Democratic nominee for the Texas Railroad Commission, has launched a 2026 campaign under the Republican banner, raising questions about candidate transparency and campaign fundraising practices.
It is understood that she used the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue to raise money for her campaign. The ActBlue team said it became aware late on Tuesday afternoon that Culbert had switched parties.
ActBlue should be able to sue. This should also be a felony. Fraud perhaps? Ultimately, nothing will be done.
'Murica!
Trump wants ActBlue investigated anyway (but not the Republican equivalent, of course), so this would probably labeled a “sting operation” or something.
