John,
Last night’s debate was a powerful reminder of why Beto’s voice is so critical in this race.
He spoke candidly about the urgent issues our country faces. Especially when it comes to gun reform, Beto knows that Americans — most importantly survivors of gun violence — deserve more than just talking points or soundbites. They deserve a leader who has the courage to take a stand and fight for what’s right (not what’s politically easy). That’s why he couldn't care less about what’s poll-tested or consultant approved — he’s just going to say what he believes.
Despite the fact that Beto is leading the conversation forward, here’s the harsh reality our campaign is facing today.
Even though so many people loved what they saw from Beto last night, he still isn't qualified for the November debate. We’re determined to get him back on the debate stage next month, but we’re going to need your help to do it.
Debates are a critical way for candidates to share their message with an audience that might not have heard from them before. We can already see how many new supporters are googling Beto’s story, visiting the website, and signing up to volunteer for our campaign ever since last night.
The media wants us to think this is a 2-person race –– but we refuse to let Beto’s voice get drowned out.
– Team Beto
