Hi, wanted to follow up because we've had a remarkable month! Since I emailed you last week, a lot has happened.
Yesterday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced an official impeachment inquiry into President Trump. The American people deserve the truth about our president and his administration.
Then today, the Texas House Democratic Caucus announced that Representative Celia Israel will serve as the Texas House Democratic Campaign Committee Chair. Celia has proven time and time again that her priority is fighting for a fair shot for all Texans. She is the leader who will flip the Texas House.
One thing is absolutely clear -- Texas Democrats are rising.
Not only are we taking action against this president's actions, we have a strong leader who will help us win the majority in the Texas House in the 2020 elections.
Thank you for your continued support. It means a lot to me to know we're in this together.
Adelante,
Gilberto Hinojosa
Chair, Texas Democratic Party

Subject: one hell of a week
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.
Myself, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, and DNC Chair Tom Perez at the third debate.
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.
Staff the Movement graduating class of 2019.
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
Chair, Texas Democratic Party
