King reported more than 180 donations from grassroots supporters in Parker and Wise counties totaling $33,295.

Today, I am humbled and overwhelmed by the fact that so many of my local supporters believe in me enough to make a personal contribution to our campaign. I will continue to work hard and personally ask my fellow citizens for another opportunity to work for them in Austin.”
