I’m filled with hope heading into tomorrow, team.
Without a dime of PAC money and the sheer determination of thousands of supporters who saw something in us — we've made this race the fight of our wealthy opponent's political life.
Pundits, reporters, and even a whole lot of folks in our party had given up on a competitive race being a possibility in TX-25. Hell, a lot of voters had given up too.
But we kept our heads down and did the work: meeting Texans where they were at across all 13 counties, sharing our stories, and talking about a positive vision for the future that leaves none of our neighbors behind.
I'm deeply humbled by your support — and now, just one final day of voting stands between us and victory in this election.
I've been hearing "talking about Medicare for All and a Green New Deal in the heart of Texas is risky," but we're proving big, bold ideas can break through the reddest of districts.
I've been hearing "you can't run a campaign on small dollars alone," but we're proving that people power can give special interests and super PACs a run for their money.
I've been hearing "we can't afford to help people when they're down," but my community didn't give up on me when I became a teenage mom.
Frankly, I've been hearing "it can't be done" my whole life — but together, we're proving that it can be.
A victory tomorrow would send a powerful message about the future of districts like ours and this country, but we cannot let up until every last ballot is cast. I'd be so grateful if you could chip in before the polls open tomorrow, so we head into Election Day in the strongest position possible.
No regrets — let's get out there and win,
Julie
