Campaign reports released Tuesday show Democratic challenger Beto O'Rourke outraised Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in October. O'Rourke topped Abbott's fundraising figure by more than $1.5 million, leading the incumbent for the third straight reporting period. The race is now the most expensive campaign for Texas governor in the state's history. But with the election less than a week away, a new poll from the Hobby School of Public Affairs at the University of Houston shows Abbott a 13-point lead, his widest margin yet.
