Dems Attack Chip Roy… From the Right

With the clock ticking down to the Texas runoff, an environmental group is inserting itself in an effort to swing the A.G. race.

A Democratic group has inserted itself, once again, into Chip Roy’s race for Texas attorney general. The Invest in Tomorrow Coalition PAC, a pro-renewable-energy group funded largely by Ripple co-founder and clean-energy evangelist Chris Larsen, has launched a $250,000 digital, streaming, and cable ad buy attacking Roy from the right on conservative-friendly platforms like Truth Social and Rumble. The group insists it will double that spending before Roy’s May 26 runoff against Mayes Middleton. In Texas media, that money won’t overwhelm airwaves, but it’s a costly troll that is clearly getting under Roy’s skin.
