He did a fund raiser for John Hill when he was running for governor. Maybe 1978ish. Clements won. Once again the Ds didn't vote and Clements won by 1 vote per precinct.
Maybe there wasn't a public concert back then.
Willie Nelson's publicist made the below statement when discussing Willie's concert for Beto O'Rourke on September 29th in TX.
A press release from Nelson’s publicist describes the event as “the first public concert Nelson has held for a political candidate."

I can't find anything on google showing that Mr. Nelson did anything on behalf of Mr. Hill during the 1978 governor's race. Perhaps it was not widely reported, or he simply showed up at a fundraising stop.
On a related note, President George W. Bush is out fundraising in Texas for various Republican candidates, with the exception of Mr. Cruz.

Cruz ran against brother Jeb--Cruz is anathema to the Bush family
And I think the Robert Mercer/Putin/Middle East involvement also makes issues with Cruz because the Bush family are big Saudi backers...and Jeb is married to an Hispanic woman...so maybe that complicates things as well with Cruz trying to hide his Cuban roots...
[quote=crone;53087754]DH also remembers a Willie Fund raiser. Could have been for Carter's 2nd term. We were there.
Anybody who is now surprised by Willie's political leanings has not been paying attention.[/QUOTE
I don't think they like Willie really
They are more Ted Neugent fans

Toward the bottom of the page, you'll see the PAC contributions. He's a liar.
Out of $23 million raised, only $54,000 is from PACs (one fifth of one percent) and this is all from other candidate's committees. (about $1.000 each from 43 candidates)
