Hey John, we
wanted to make sure you had a chance to see Beto’s note about the results
of Tuesday’s election.

It’s important you read it because now is not the time for despair. We
have a lot to be proud of, and a lot to look forward to (like Eliz running
in the general election in November, along with dozens of other key
candidates that Powered By People intends to support). But that work
requires resources, and we’re facing our first fundraising deadline of the
year on January 31st.

[ [link removed]- ]So, we’re asking: can you please read Beto’s note below and then pitch
in $3 before midnight tomorrow? Our electoral strength depends on the
strength of our grassroots fundraising. We’re counting on your support.

Thanks for everything, John. We
can’t wait to continue this work with all of you.

Dear John,



Thank you for working so hard to help Eliz Markowitz in her race to
represent the people of Fort Bend and the 28th House district in the Texas
legislature.

Election night was tough. Not the outcome that we wanted. But we knew from
the start that this was a long shot; we knew Eliz had only received 39% of
the vote in the November special election; we knew her opponent had lent
his own campaign $1.5 million. But we also knew that as the first election
of the most important year of our lives we had to try and we had to do our
best.

I am confident we did. Together, more than 1,100 of us knocked on over
41,000 doors. And beyond the direct engagement with voters, we had fun, we
connected with old friends and had the chance to make new ones. As Thomas
from Lubbock put it, we all got to be a family again.

While we didn’t win, we helped produce the largest turnout in a runoff
special election in Texas history. We helped improve Eliz’s performance
over the November election by 3 points. And most importantly — the tens of
thousands of conversations we had with voters laid the groundwork for her
to have a fighting chance in the November matchup for this same seat.

This is just the beginning. Not only does Eliz have another chance to win
in less than ten months, we now have the ability to bring Powered by
People volunteers to bear on state house elections throughout Texas. I
hope you will be one of them.

If we stay focused, if we stay after it, we will achieve our goal of
electing a Democratic majority in the state house for the first time since
2001.

Keep up the fight and keep the faith,

Beto
