    SENATE JOURNAL EIGHTY-SIXTH LEGISLATURE Ð REGULAR SESSION AUSTIN, TEXAS PROCEEDINGS SIXTY-SECOND DAY (Monday, May 27, 2019) The Senate met at 11:00 a.m. pursuant to adjournment and was called to order by the President. The roll was called and the following Senators were present:iiAlvarado, Bettencourt, Birdwell, Buckingham, Campbell, Creighton, Fallon, Flores, Hall, Hancock, Hinojosa, Huffman, Hughes, Johnson, Kolkhorst, Lucio, MeneÂndez, Miles, Nelson, Nichols, Paxton, Perry, Powell, RodrõÂguez, Schwertner, Seliger, Taylor, Watson, West, Whitmire, Zaffirini. The President announced that a quorum of the Senate was present. Senator Kolkhorst offered the invocation as follows: Father, we gather today on a day that ends the 86th Legislature, but a day, too, that we memorialize all who have given their lives while serving our country. Father, we mourn them, we remember them, but most of all we celebrate them. We celebrate their families and we remember them as well for all that they have given so that we may have freedom in this country, freedom. Freedom is never free. Father, we also gather today on a day that we called sine die, a day without another, but because of our faith, because of Jesus Christ, I always know there is another day and that eternal life awaits us. And so as we go forth, Father, from this 86th Legislature, having served You as servant leaders, I pray for all of our civil servants who will go to work on the things that we have passed. I pray for those that touched the lives of others and help others and teach others, those that serve in our law enforcement.

  • Texas Pacs: 2008 Election Cycle Spending
    Texas PACs: 2008 Election Cycle Spending Contents I. Total Texas PAC Spending II. Comparing Business, Ideological & Labor PACs III. PACs By Interest Category IV. Specific-Purpose PACs V. The 100 Biggest PACs in Texas (2008 Cycle) Texans for Public Justice is a non-profit, non-partisan advocacy and research organization that tracks the role of money in Texas politics. © Copyright Texans for Public Justice, April 2009 Texans for Public Justice 609 W. 18th St., Suite E Austin, TX 78701 (512) 472-9770 [email protected] http://www.tpj.org 1 This report identifies and ranks Texas’ top general-purpose political action committees (PACs) in the 2008 election cycle. These rankings are based on the total amount of expenditures that PACs electronically reported to the Texas Ethics Commission. During the two-year election cycle ending in December 2008, 1,209 general- purpose PACs reported expenditures.1 The number of PACs active in the 2008 cycle exceeded that of any other election over the past decade. The total 2008 cycle spending by these PACs fell just short of $120 million. This marked a 21 percent increase from the $99 million that such PACs spent in the proceeding 2006 cycle. This increase is striking, given that Texas political spending spikes in gubernatorial election years, when PACs dig deep to influence the elections of a large number of statewide officeholders. There was no gubernatorial election in 2008, which followed an extraordinary 2006 election featuring four well-funded gubernatorial candidates who collectively raised $42.3 million. The heavy spending in 2008 was driven in part by competing factions seeking to defend or topple recently deposed House Speaker Tom Craddick of Midland.
