I posted these numbers earlier, from the Texans for Public Justice numbers on the HD146 Democratic Primary race between Borris Miles and Al Edwards (the incumbent). These totals were through the 8-day out report:
| District | Candidate | Party | Status* | Total Raised | Total Spent | Cash On Hand |
| 146 | Edwards, Al | DEM | I | $97,224 | $95,673 | $24,736 |
| 146 | Miles, Borris L. | DEM | C | $12,425 | $207,107 | $50,417 |
Since then, Edwards has received the following donations:
$2500 from Charles Butts$1000 from Rep. Craig Eiland$1000 from Eli Lilly & Company PAC
Charles Butts is a prolific giver to pro-education candidates. Eiland was Speaker Pro Tempore in the last legislative session.
You can see that Miles has largely self-funded his race to regain the 146 seat. He loaned his campaign $150,000 on November 2nd. This has allowed him to outspend Edwards two to one.
The Houston Chronicle endorsed Miles, saying, "Based on their comparative records over the past two legislative sessions, we believe Miles would better deal with the enormous social service and infrastructure needs of the district." and "Miles' proven business acumen and leadership abilities make him the better-qualified candidate of the two. We urge Democratic primary voters to return him to the Legislature."
