The Super Pac Keep the Promise will disclose in upcoming election filings that Texas fracking Billionaires Farris and Dan Wilks have donated $15 million, according to a CNN report.

“Unless we elect a principled conservative leader ready to stand up for our values, we’ll look back on what once was the land of opportunity and pass on a less prosperous nation to our children and grandchildren. That’s why we need Ted Cruz, “63-year old Farris told CNN.

The donations make Cruz second on the money raised list to Jeb Bush, a surprising development.  The Farris donations are cited as the largest gift on this weeks upcoming reports, although Norman Braman, former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, has reportedly given Marco Rubio $10 million.  Braman is a Florida-based auto dealer.  The report cites several Jeb Bush supporters are in the 7 figure range.  Keep the Promise also has raised $11 million from New York hedge fund operator Robert Mercer, and $10 Million from Cruz friend Toby Neugebauer from Houston.

The Wilks brothers have a $100 million family philanthropy group, The Thirteen Foundation, which has donated nearly $19 million according to tax filings, going to conservative and religious groups.

Younger brother Dan said in a statement, “We need a leader who will make sure America doesn’t end up a socialist nation” and “a leader that will stand up for biblical morals”.

The brothers owned their own masonry business and founded Frac Tech in 2002, selling out in 2011.

Reportedly Scott Walker, Wisconsin Governor,  and Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas Governor, have courted donations from Wilks.
