John,
Remember Trump’s inauguration? It wasn't even a year ago. All of the
corporate titans and tech billionaires in supplication, pledging their
fealty… soon to be followed by the major law firms, the Ivy League
universities, the media corporations, even Congress and the Supreme Court…
really, anyone with any kind of conventional power was bending the knee to
this would-be dictator… it was enough to make you puke… and to tempt us to
despair.
But instead, we chose to fight.
We held town halls in Republican strongholds, places Trump had just won
with 70% of the vote. Amarillo, Wichita Falls, Tyler. We had them in the
suburbs too: Mansfield, Rosenberg (with my friend Tim Walz), Denton,
Garland, Humble. And we did the same in bigger cities, from San Antonio
and Laredo to Beaumont.
That was just the beginning for us. We had a big year at Powered by
People, and we’re not slowing down now. We’re only going to turn it up in
2026, because the stakes could not be higher and the opportunity could not
be clearer.
This is how we win a U.S. Senate seat. This is how we win Democratic seats
in Congress. This is how we flip state legislative seats, protect health
care and voting rights, and make sure the people of Texas — not
billionaires, not extremists, not corrupt politicians — decide our future.
And the way we do it is the same way we always have: together.
Powered by People exists for moments like this. Not just to protest what’s
wrong, but to organize for what’s possible. To register voters, recruit
and support candidates in every district, build coalitions across
communities, and stay in the fight year-round — not just when there’s an
election on the calendar.
