==[[Dade Phelan]] Campaign==
Texas also has no limits on how campaign contributions can be spent. As such, Speaker Dade Phelan provided large contributions to many candidates for Texas Representative seats. The five largest were:<ref>https://www.transparencyusa.org/tx/contributor/dade-phelan-campaign/</ref>
*[[John Lujan]] - $446,649.99 (Lujan was the incumbent for District 118, and successfully held the seat)
*[[Stephanie Klick]] - $419,826.10 (Klick was the incumbent for District 91, and successfully held the seat)
*[[Jamee Jolly]] - $415,000 (Jolly was running for the open District 70 seat, but was defeated by the Democratic candidate in a district which, due to California transplants, is turning into a Democrat one)
*[[Glenn Rogers]] - $305,499.18 (Rogers was the incumbent for District 60, and successfully fended off three challengers in the primary, though a runoff was required; Rogers had no opposition in the general election)
*[[Ben Bumgarner]] - $285,757 (Bumgarner was running for the open District 63 seat, successfully fended off three challengers in the primary, though a runoff was required (Bumgarner defeated [[Jeff Younger]], notable for his public and messy divorce case and child custody battles with his ex-wife over her desire to transition their child's gender), and then held the seat for the Republicans in the general election)
The four winning candidates above (Lujan, Klick, Rogers, and Bumgarner) all voted to impeach Paxton.
