Ex-congressman’s Powered by People fundraised for lawmakers who left state to prevent redistricting vote

A Texas judge has expanded a restraining order against former congressman Beto O’Rourke and his political organization over its fundraising for Democratic state lawmakers who left Texas to prevent a legislative session on congressional redistricting.

Tarrant county judge Megan Fahey, a member of the conservative Federalist Society and past president of the Fort Worth Republican Women’s Club, said in a four-page order published on Saturday that O’Rourke and his political group, Powered by People, are barred from sending money out of Texas.

Fahey found that ā€œharm is imminent to the State, and if the Court does not issue this order, the State will be irreparably injuredā€ because ā€œdefendants’ fundraising conduct constitutes false, misleading, or deceptive acts under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Actā€.
