raising money from just two donors, Double Diamond Transport Inc., owned by former Republican state House candidate Adam Blanchard and former Real Estate Council of San Antonio President Brad Carson, who each contributed $12,500. So far the group has spent $5,200 for Gavito and $5,500 for Whyte.
Both San Antonio Equity Alliance and Better SA have nonprofit arms that don’t have to follow the same donor disclosure rules as political action committees. That’s an advantage to donors who don’t want to take a public stance against an incumbent — a much riskier bet than engaging in an open race. Better SA declined to comment for this story. The San Antonio Equity Alliance did not respond to a request for comment.
“This is just stage one of a very long effort,” said Eddie Aldrete, a former IBC Bank vice president and Republican fundraiser who serves as Whyte’s campaign treasurer and is familiar with both groups.
