John,
Given how important voter turnout is for our prospects in Texas — where we
have a chance to stop Donald Trump and deliver the 38 electoral college
votes to the Democratic nominee AND win a Democratic majority in the state
house in November — I wanted to share some good news with you.
This past Tuesday, nearly 2.1 million Texans voted in our state’s primary.
That is 640,000+ more people than voted in 2016.
Despite the wind and the rain, Texas’ history of voter suppression, the
long lines (voters at TSU in Houston waited SIX HOURS to cast their
ballot!), the people of Texas stepped up to be heard and to be counted.
Democratic Primary Turnout
2016: 1,435,895
2020: 2,076,046+

As a Texan this makes me proud, and as an American who is deeply concerned
about the future of this country this gives me hope. It shows me that the
will, and the numbers, are there to win at least nine more state rep
seats, which would put us in the majority for the first time in twenty
years. And if we build on this by registering more voters, getting more
volunteers in the field and building a true state-wide organizing effort,
we could stop Donald Trump once and forever by winning Texas for the
Democratic nominee. That’s the work that I’m focused on with Powered By
People this year.
I’d love to have your help (and for those who’ve already donated, your
continued support) to do this important work.

Your donation will help us to recruit and support volunteers to register
new voters, and to turnout existing ones by knocking on their doors.
This kind of direct voter engagement is the single most effective way to
communicate with those who will decide these important elections. I am
confident that if we build a large enough team, we can organize in
critical state house races and across the entire state of Texas.

Thank you!
