Over the last 15 years, Mayes Middleton has become a prolific GOP donor, spending millions of his oil and gas fortune on conservative candidates and causes. His largesse has helped fund the rise of the hardline House Freedom Caucus and quietly enabled challenges to Attorney General Ken Paxton.<\/p>

Most of all, though, his money has fueled his own political rise, from a little-known oil and gas heir to a state legislator and, now, front-runner in the race to replace Paxton. After coming first in the March primary, Middleton, a senator from Galveston, will face U.S. Rep. Chip Roy in the May 26 runoff.<\/p>\n

Middleton has spent more than $16 million of his own money on the race so far, dwarfing any of his previous political spending many times over. Roy and his backers argue Middleton is trying to buy the race, through his deluge of television ads and endorsements from candidates and groups he\u2019s supported, despite his thin legal resume and qualifications for the job.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look at the amount of money being thrown around by my opponent, into groups that then endorse him, somebody tell me how that\u2019s not a conflict of interest,\u201d Roy said at a recent campaign stop in Dripping Springs. \u201cIt just don\u2019t smell right to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Middleton didn\u2019t respond to a request for comment. His supporters, many of whom have benefited from his political generosity, say they\u2019re backing him for the same reason he backed them \u2014 shared political beliefs and a strong sense that he\u2019d be the best fit for the job.<\/p>\n

Tarrant County Commissioner Matt Krause, who served in the Legislature with Middleton and has received more than $300,000 from him over the years, rejected the idea that Middleton was expecting a quid pro quo in exchange for his donations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look at it much more positively, like, this guy\u2019s been willing to write a check to all these people to support them, because it was the right thing to do at the time,\u201d Krause said. \u201cHe approached it much more like, \u2018Hey, Matt, we\u2019ve been in the battle together, we\u2019ve walked arm in arm, you know my beliefs. You know my values, you can trust me, and I would appreciate that support.\u2019 And people like me are wholeheartedly willing to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Funding the freedom fighters<\/h2>\n

Middleton\u2019s father, John Gregg Middleton was deeply involved in Chambers County civic life, serving on city council and the board of the local bank and country club. Gov. Bill Clements, the first Republican elected to statewide office in Texas since Reconstruction, appointed him to the Trinity River Authority, according to his obituary.<\/p>\n

When he died in 2013, Mayes, an only child, inherited the oil company, and the wealth that came with it. He took up the mantle of civic engagement, as well, but he did it on a Texas-sized scale.<\/p>\n

Middleton entered the political fray at a pivotal moment, just as fractures in the Texas Republican Party were beginning to deepen. A new, more hardline arm of the party was on the rise, vying to unseat the moderate, business-centric establishment that helped take the state back from Democrats.<\/p>\n

Middleton charged into that fight, donating more than $300,000 over three years to Empower Texans PAC, a growing force at the Capitol that was marshaling major oil and gas money to pull the GOP sharply to the right. Led by its rabble-rousing leader, Michael Quinn Sullivan, Empower Texans threw hundreds of thousands of dollars at primaries to unseat Republican legislators they saw as insufficiently ideological and, over time, ushered in a new generation of uncompromisingly conservative warriors.<\/p>\n

Individual candidates from the arch-conservative camp also benefited from Middleton\u2019s money. When the Texas House Freedom Caucus launched in 2017, three-quarters of its initial members had received donations from Middleton; he would eventually support all but one. An outgrowth of the tea party movement, the House Freedom Caucus was created in direct opposition to then-Speaker Joe Straus, a San Antonio Republican who represented the more moderate, establishment arm of the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you weren\u2019t part of that, there wasn\u2019t a lot of institutional money available to you,\u201d Krause, one of the caucus\u2019 founding members, said. \u201cMayes gained a lot of respect, for me and a lot of others, because he was willing to donate to the candidates that weren\u2019t as popular down in Austin, but were fighting for the things that he believed in.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2014, Middleton gave two donations totaling $3,500 to Wayne Faircloth, who represented his home district in Galveston. Just four years later, he decided to primary Faircloth, entering the political arena as a candidate, rather than a donor, for the first time.<\/p>\n

That cycle, the average winning Texas House campaign cost $354,000, TransparencyUSA reported. Middleton spent $2.3 million, almost all out of his own pocket, outpacing the second most prolific candidate by more than $700,000.<\/p>\n

He won, and joined the Freedom Caucus he initially helped bankroll. His support didn\u2019t stop once he was in the chamber, as he continued to dole out major donations to a wide range of conservative lawmakers. He also gave to conservative causes, backing groups like Texas Values, Texas Right to Life and the Texas GOP itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat says a lot to us, when someone wants to invest in the work that we do and not just support us with words,\u201d said Jonathan Saenz, president of Texas Values Action, the group\u2019s political arm which is supporting Middleton\u2019s attorney general bid. \u201cSome people, they won\u2019t even attend our events, even Republicans, but with [Middleton], people can see the sincerity of his support for our work and our values.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2021, Middleton began eyeing the Senate seat in his backyard. Incumbent Larry Taylor planned to run again, but dropped out once Middleton made it clear he intended to challenge him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tried to tell him, I\u2019m just going to go one more time, why don\u2019t you wait, but he\u2019s ready to go and wanting to spend a lot of money,\u201d Taylor told the Galveston County Daily News.<\/p>

And spend a lot, he did. Middleton gave himself $2.5 million that cycle, despite having little in the way of primary opposition and no Democratic challenger.<\/p>\n

Funding Paxton opponents<\/h2>\n

While running for state Senate, Middleton also got involved in the race for the office he now seeks. In 2022, Paxton was up for reelection, but the cloud of legal troubles he\u2019d long operated under was growing ever more concerning for party leaders. Paxton was facing an FBI investigation, after eight of his top aides reported him to the FBI for alleged abuse of office, and he remained under felony indictment for securities fraud.<\/p>\n

Krause, long a Paxton ally, joined the growing list of primary challengers seeking to oust the incumbent. His main campaign funder? Middleton.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were side-by-side, arm-in-arm, on a lot of those votes in the House, and so I think it was a recognition that he knew what my principles were, he knew how I would attack the office if I were to get into it,\u201d Krause said.<\/p>\n

Krause dropped out a few weeks later, after U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert entered the race. Middleton gave Gohmert $300,000, and asked Krause to pass on the remains of his donation, $250,000, to the Gohmert camp.<\/p>\n

Paxton was forced into a runoff with Land Commissioner George P. Bush, but ultimately won a third term. The next year, he was impeached by the Texas House. Middleton was reportedly one of several senators considering voting to convict Paxton, although he ultimately joined the majority in acquitting him.<\/p>\n

If there was any bad blood between Paxton and Middleton over these clashes, it seems to have dissipated in the years since. According to leaked audio obtained by Texas Bullpen, Paxton said he plans to vote for Middleton.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom what I understand, those two have talked not just once, but several times since then,\u201d Krause said. \u201cI\u2019m sure those are hard conversations, especially with Attorney General Paxton at the beginning, but he\u2019s willing to have those conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMoney where his mouth is\u201d<\/h2>\n

Middleton entered the attorney general\u2019s race last spring, when the field was still taking shape. Almost immediately, he garnered a slew of endorsements from his colleagues in the Legislature \u2014 many of whom had won their seats with financial support from Middleton.<\/p>\n

Roy has hammered Middleton for \u201cbuying endorsements,\u201d as he told voters at the Dripping Springs event, as well as for the sheer scale of money he has poured into this race. A handful of big-name donors have stepped up to support Roy in recent weeks, motivated by frustration that Middleton was using his personal wealth to purchase the seat, the congressman said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey felt compelled to back me, not just to level the playing field, but to win,\u201d Roy told The Texas Tribune.<\/p>\n

But Joshua Blank, the research director of the Texas Politics Project, said it\u2019s difficult to make that line of attack resonate outside the donor class. Politicians give money to like-minded allies, who often return the favor. That money typically comes from candidates\u2019 campaign coffers, Blank noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think the voters care where that money originated, whether that was through a federally regulated PAC in which the donors are clearly listed, or whether that money came from a Republican kingmaker of sorts,\u201d Blank said, mentioning the example of Gov. Greg Abbott unleashing his war chest to unseat lawmakers opposed to school vouchers.<\/p>\n

Roy has also criticized Middleton as unqualified for the role. While Roy worked as a federal prosecutor, and as Paxton\u2019s first assistant at the attorney general\u2019s office, Middleton has a law degree but has worked exclusively for his family company. Middleton\u2019s many endorsers reject that argument, saying he has the temperament and executive leadership know-how needed to run the agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople know him and have faith in his ability to lead, and he\u2019s shown a commitment to working on things at the state level and connecting with people and the party around the state,\u201d Saenz said. \u201cHis track record is what\u2019s getting voters to go to the polls. It takes more than just the ability to fund a campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n

Typically, self-funded campaigns underperform compared to more traditional campaigns, in part because donors are engaged voters and raising money activates their networks as well, Blank said. But Middleton has bucked that trend, which is a sign that his message is resonating, no matter who is paying to get it out there.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be silly to say that his profile as a donor hasn\u2019t helped his rise in the party,\u201d Blank said. \u201cBut it\u2019s also the case that his willingness to put his money where his mouth is and support the MAGA message is of value to Republicans who believe it\u2019s a value.\u201d<\/p>
