I've spent my career working as a political analyst and strategist -- and while we've never lived through an election like this one before, lemme tell you one piece of advice that's gotten me through countless elections:
The polls don't mean spit. We've gotta organize, register, donate, volunteer, mobilize and VOTE like we're at least 10 points behind.

I grew up in Missouri City, just outside of Houston, and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin (Hook 'em!). So while I've had the privilege of working on campaigns across the world, trust me when I say -- nothing will make me happier than flipping Texas.
Texas is the biggest battleground state in the country. If we flip Texas, we'll completely block Trump's path to re-election. Plus, we have a real shot at replacing John Cornyn with MJ Hegar, and electing Texas Democrats up and down the ballot.
In 2018, we almost got it done. This year, it could come down to less than a percentage point. We've gotta work like we're behind, and we've gotta make sure the Texas Democratic Party reaches every single fundraising goal they set. That's why I'm asking you today:
Can you add your first $7 contribution of 2020 right now to help turn Texas blue?

Texas is only in play thanks to thousands of grassroots activists like you -- people who have done the difficult, expensive, thankless, joyful, early, continuous work of laying the foundation we need to win.
And when we win, it's gonna so good, feelin' good again.
Thanks again,
Paul Begala
