Hi John,
Yesterday, we launched our first campaign ad since Ed Markey’s Green New Deal-maker video went viral. In this powerful video, a union electrician shares how he got a major Texas union to back the Green New Deal and why they are backing Mike Siegel for Congress.
Unions have a saying: if you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu. That’s why unions support Green New Deal champion Mike Siegel -- any deal he’ll make will start with workers.
Mike has been organizing with Sunrise hubs in Texas for nearly a year, and I’m proud to say that we have a real chance to elect a Green New Deal champion in a conservative district. It’s no wonder this is one of the most closely watched races in the nation! Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez even endorsed Mike this morning, the latest sign that progressives everywhere are uniting to make history in Texas.
Join us TONIGHT at 6:00pm CDT to make calls to voters in Texas and build support for Mike!
Mike Siegel shares our vision to put workers, especially those in Texas’s oil industry, at the center of a bold plan to invest in clean energy and ensure everyone has a dignified job. But to win, we need you. We have about 450 hours left to talk to voters about Mike and kick out his opponent Michael McCaul, Congress’s biggest personal fossil fuel investor!
It’s time to prove that the Green New Deal can win EVEN in Republican strongholds like TX-10. Our plan is to make another 125,000 calls to voters before Nov. 3, but that means we need you to sign up right now to help!
To win this, we need all hands on deck. Recent polls showed that Mike is down by just ONE point and early voting started yesterday! So let’s hustle and flip this district. Together, we’ll show the nation that a Green New Deal can win everywhere, even right here in the heart of Texas.
We got this.
Kelsey Vizzard, Sunrise Austin
