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.
Hmm, any cunning Dems wanna try the same stunt, see how it goes for them?
I’m actually charmed by the idea of someone running in a deep blue district with the message “You remember how much we fucking hated Joe Manchin? Well, elect me as a Republican, and I’ll be the most goddamn Democratic Republican in recorded history, and they won’t be able to do a goddamn thing about it.”
As large of a violence fettish the repugs have I am sure there would be no threats of a lynching.
I’m thinking that the person who did this ® will face no consequences for their out right lie, but there would be legal consequences for a dem doing the same thing. Source: lived history ;)
