Democratic Party Senate hopeful Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez raised over $459,000 in two months for her campaign, signaling that she’s a viable candidate against her intraparty rivals and incumbent Republican John Cornyn.

Tzintzún Ramirez, an activist and political organizer, raised over $459,000 in the third quarter and $500,000 in total. She has $225,489 in the bank.

“Our campaign is building a movement to create a government that represents all of us,” Tzintzún Ramirez said. “That’s why I’m proud my campaign for the U.S. Senate is funded by the people, not corporations and their PACs.”

Tzintzún Ramirez, a first-time candidate, says when she got into the race in August, she set a goal of raising $400,000.

According to a news release, actor Alec Baldwin will headline a fundraiser on her behalf in New York.

Tzintzún Ramirez, of Austin, is in a Democratic primary for Senate that includes former Air Force helicopter pilot MJ Hegar, state Sen. Royce West, Houston council member Amanda Edwards and former U.S. Rep. Chris Bell.

Hegar will report raising $1 million for the quarter and has close to $900,000 in the bank, while West, who launched his campaign this summer, has raised $545,000 and has $364,668 cash on hand. Of West’s fundraising total, $200,000 is from loans.

Edwards and Bell have not shared their fundraising totals.

Cornyn, the longtime incumbent, raised $3.2 million for the quarter and has $11 million in his campaign fund.

Ramirez is making her first run for public office. She is co-founder of the Workers Defense Project and the Hispanic advocacy group Jolt Texas.
