Writing to you from Brownsville, after one hell of a week. I can't stop thinking about how Texas Democrats showed the nation that we are the biggest battleground state -- and I can't thank you enough for your support.
Last week started with a bang when we rolled out our Texas Democrats Path to victory. Cliff wrote to you about how Texas has a rapidly expanding and engaged electorate. Our program is to register 2,600,000 new voters, to send over 1,500,000 vote-by-mail applications, and to have 1,000 field organizers and canvassers on the ground in 2020.

Right after, we had not one but two new polls showing the same thing. Texas is the biggest battleground state. A poll from Univision/University of Houston showed Democrats beating Trump by 5%. Republicans are running scared.

Then on Thursday, we welcomed our Democratic presidential candidates at the Houston Democratic Presidential Debate. I was extra proud to welcome everybody to deep blue Harris County.
Folks were fired up at the Houston Democratic Presidential Debate.

We just finished our first ever Staff the Movement campaign academy. These students have been working day and night planning town hall events, days of action, building finance and fundraising plans, and learning about the tools and skills needed to run winning campaigns. Participants graduated from our four-month program and now they will be managing campaigns across Texas for Democrats on the ballot in 2020.

Thank you for ensuring that we have the resources to win BIG in 2020.
We're three months away from 2020. We must keep knocking on doors, talking to voters, mobilizing, and organizing like never before.
We need you to do everything in your power to win. Can I count on you?
Adelante,
Gilberto Hinojosa
