</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"> James O’Keefe had big plans for 2020. The founder of Project Veritas, the conspiratorial right-wing group that specializes in Fox News–friendly “stings” intended to expose supposed liberal bias and corruption in American society, was planning on getting married this past May. The wedding, to a <b>public school teacher</b>, was to be at an exclusive country club in upstate New York. The guest list was packed with Make America Great Again world cognoscenti: <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Donald Trump Jr., Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and his activist wife Ginni were all invited, as were several of O’Keefe’s most generous conservative donors, including <b>Texas shale oil billionaire George Bishop </b>and Bullpen Capital founder Paul Martino.</span></font></div></div></div></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">=</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" /><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">STATESMAN austin </font></div><div>no lnx</div><div> </div><div><a href="https://www.statesman.com/article/20161017/NEWS/310179774">https://www.statesman.com/article<b>/2016</b>1017/NEWS/310179774</a></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">
</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">Texas money has played an important part in Donald Trump’s campaign for president. Texans provided nearly 35 percent of the contributions to Trump Victory in the second quarter of the year when the general election fundraising operation was just getting underway. For the third quarter, Texas accounted for just under 14 percent of all its contributions.</span></div><div>
</div><div>RELATED: Trump raises money in October swing through Texas</div><div>
</div><div>Texas donors also gave $7 million directly to Republican nominee through the end of August — more than any state, although less than half of what Democratic rival Hillary Clinton’s campaign raised in the Lone Star State.</div><div>
</div><div>While individual donors cannot give more than $2,700 to his campaign committee, they can give up to $449,400 to Trump Victory, a joint fund raising committee of the Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee, and a number of state Republican parties, not including Texas, which divide the proceeds.</div><div>
</div><div>Among the top Texas contributors to Trump Victory:</div><div>
</div><div>Houston Texans owners Bob McNair and his wife, Janice, were the biggest Texas contributors to the Trump Victory Committee this quarter, with each contributing $449,000. McNair originally made his fortune in cogeneration.</div><div>
</div><div>Julianna Holt of Corpus Christi, who with her husband, Peter, owns the San Antonio Spurs, made a third-quarter contribution of $249,400 bringing her to the maximum of $449,400. Peter Holt is CEO of HoltCat, the largest <b>Caterpillar</b> dealership in the United States and Julianna Holt is the Spurs CEO.</div><div>Daniel Andrew “Andy” Beal, chairman of Beal Bank in Dallas, made a $50,000 contribution this quarter that brought him to the $449,400 limit.</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">Shale oil billionaire George Bishop of The Woodlands was close behind with a contribution of $446,500.</span></div><div>Houston attorney Tony Buzbee, who hosted a Trump fundraiser at his River Oaks home in June, contributed $250,000.</div><div>Oil and gas money</div><div>
</div><div>Trump has made four general election swings through Texas to raise money for Trump Victory, including an August event at the Headliners Club in Austin.</div><div>
</div><div>Trump’s success in raising Texas money from big donors has followed a familiar formula. He largely looked to folks who made their fortunes in oil and gas:</div><div>
</div><div>Houstonian James Flores, chairman of Plains Exploration and Production Company, gave $250,000.</div><div>Faith Gutierrrez, the wife of Joe Gutierrez, co-founder and co-president of NET Midstream — a natural gas pipeline and gas marketing company — gave $250,000</div><div>Michael Herd of Tyler, vice president of Herd Producing Co., an oil and gas exploration and drilling company, donated $225,000.</div><div>Simon Kukes of Houston, a retired oil industry executive who was formerly co-owner of the Russian oil company, ZAO Samara-Nafta, gave $173,000. A Russian emigre, Kukes is now a U.S. citizen.</div><div>Al G. Hill Jr., of A.G. Hill Partners Investment, of Dallas, grandson of iconic oil billionaire H.L. Hunt, gave $149,400</div><div>Cary Maguire of Dallas, president of Maguire Oil, gave $100,000 in the third quarter, on top of an earlier $25,000 contribution. Marcia French, president of Furth Oil, gave $50,000 bringing her total to $100,000. Fort Worth oilman W.A. “Tex” Moncrief, president of Moncrief Oil, gave $110,000.</div><div>Charles Saulisbury, president and CEO of Saulisbury Industries in Odessa, which does engineering, construction, and fabrication for heavy industrial clients, gave $100,000.</div><div>Anne Marion of Fort Worth, the president of Burnett Ranches and chairwoman of the Burnett Oil Company, gave $100,000, as did Lissa Noël Wagner, the widow of Midland oilman Cy Wagner and a partner in Wagner Brown LTD.</div><div>Rancher Emily Dial of San Antonio, gave $100,000 bringing her grand total $125,000</div><div>Kenny Troutt of Dallas, a telecom billionaire as founder of Excel Communications, and owner of Mt. Vernon Investments, gave $12,500 on top of $100,000 he previously gave.</div><div>Jay Adair of Dallas, CEO of Copart Inc., a provider of online vehicle auction and remarketing services, gave $100,000, as did Al Boenker of Fort Worth, who owns the insurance agency that bears his name.</div><div>Other donors</div><div>
</div><div>Other $100,000 donors included Ronald Lockard of McKinney, founder of Transaction Application Group, an insurance third party administrator company, and Thomas Rouse of Dallas, retired chairman and CEO of Transfirst, a leading provider of credit card processing services.</div><div>

</div><div>Dana Powell, the wife of Gene Powell, gave $100,000 this quarter, bringing her total contribution to $150,000. But her husband, who was a state finance co-chairman of Trump Victory and hosted a fundraiser that Trump attended in San Antonio last week, said that, in the aftermath of comments Trump had made about women, that was the last thing he was doing for Trump.</div><div>
</div><div>Among Austinites, John Markham Green, executive chairman of Owner Resource Group, who had given $45,000 the second quarter, gave another $2,700.</div><div>
</div><div>Jay Novik, chairman of the Prosperity Life Group, gave $2,700 to bring his total to $10,200; James Tracey, CEO of Great Stuff Inc., gave $40,000, and real estate investor Shelton Boyce donated $25,000.</div></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">g<b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">eoSouthern Energy Corporation</b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">is a</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum" title="Petroleum" style="background-image: none;
