Answer: yes,large contributors have undue influence on Texas politics

Explanation:

Large contributors with the help of their donations give themselves a disproportionate influence in the political process. Texas is one of the states that has no limits on the size of political contributions.

In the 2006 elections about one-hundred and fourty large contributors donated nothing less than $100,000 each. This contribution from large contributors in 2006, accounts for up to 30 percent of the total contributions in Texas.

Examples of how large donors have influenced the actions of lawmakers are given below:

Case one: In the 1980s, Karl Rove(a campaign consultant) raised millions in donations from energy industries to Political Action Committees (PACs) set up by him. It was this Political Action Committees money that was used for the election of George Bush.

Case two: Also, in 2010, corporations and labor unions were allowed to spend unlimited amounts in federal campaigns to support candidates.
