Democrat Beto O'Rourke obliterated campaign fundraising records in Texas over the last three months, raising $38 million.

O'Rourke has now raised over $60 million for his campaign against U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz. That is more than any Democratic candidate in the nation running for the Senate, and 70 percent more than Cruz has raised.

Cruz said last week he expected to have raised over $12 million over the last three months and has raised about $35 million total for his campaign.

O'Rourke stressed that none of his campaign donations are coming from political action committees. Throughout his campaign, he has refused those donations as a statement against special interest money in politics.

"The people of Texas in all 254 counties are proving that when we reject PACs and come together not as Republicans or Democrats but as Texans and Americans, there's no stopping us," O'Rourke said in a statement to the media.
