John,
Let's talk more about what's happening in the San Antonio Mayoral Race:
Gina Ortiz Jones, our candidate, is a veteran, a public servant, and a fighter. She's spent her life serving her country — as an intelligence officer in the Air Force, a senior defense official in the Biden administration, and now, as the Democratically aligned contender for mayor of San Antonio.
But now she's up against something very different: a super PAC funded by Texas Governor Greg Abbott's allies, with unlimited cash and a clear mission — to install a conservative loyalist in the mayor's office of one of Texas' most important cities.
That loyalist is Rolando Pablos, a former Abbott appointee and Secretary of State who helped push restrictive voting policies throughout Texas. Now he's backed by the Texas Economic Fund, a brand-new PAC created specifically to flip local races in Texas — with a $2 million goal and no contribution limits.
Meanwhile, Gina is running a people-powered campaign in a race that will be decided by just a few thousand voters.
That's why GOTV PAC is going all-in on voter contact. We'll be making thousands of calls to low-propensity voters in San Antonio — people who support candidates like Gina but don't always show up in local elections.
And here's the truth: in local races like this, just a handful of votes can determine the outcome.
If we want Gina Ortiz Jones to win this runoff and block Greg Abbott from installing one of his operatives in City Hall, we need to act now.
Will you chip in $20 or more today to help GOTV PAC power this final push before early voting starts on May 27? We’ll begin making our first round of phone banks this week!
