Hey there,
Texas Republicans like Roger Williams are in trouble: According to a new University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll, only 23% of Texas registered voters approve of the job Congress is doing. Most voters — 56% of them — disapprove, and those feelings are shared across party lines.
It's clear: People across Texas and this district are sick and tired of career politicians putting corporate interests over ours, especially in times of crisis.
Y'all know that Julie would be an amazing representative who will fight like hell for this district. But with Texas Republicans feeling the heat like this, it's going to take all of us. We need your help to continue growing the movement that will help us get Julie to Congress.
COVID-19 cases are continuing to grow at an alarming rate in Texas, and we're seeing that communities of color are bearing the brunt of this deadly disease disproportionately. Because of the failure to mount a coordinated federal response to get widespread testing and contact tracing in place, dozens of small businesses have had to close up shop. Many of our neighbors are going hungry or can't access the healthcare they so desperately need.
And in the middle of all of that, what did Roger Williams do? Instead of fighting like hell to make sure his constituents could access the funds they might need from the Payroll Protection Program to keep their small businesses and employees afloat, he appears to have used his position to get to the front of the line for his car dealership.
TX-25 deserves so much better than what we have now, and we're building the team that can achieve real, lasting change. But you and I both know it's going to be another tough fight against entrenched special interests in the pocket of our current Congressman.
Thank you for being in this fight with us,
Sidney Hollingsworth
Finance Director
Julie Oliver for Congress
