EARLIER EMAIL:
After the Texas abortion ban and electricity failure, it would be tragic
if someone awesome didn't run to defeat the right-wing Republican
governor.
Today, Beto O'Rourke made it official: He's in! He's by far our best shot
of flipping this giant state for the better.

Here is what Beto said in his announcement video. Some of our favorite
parts are bolded:
I'm running for governor, and I want to tell you why. This past February
when the electricity grid failed, and millions of our fellow Texans were
without power, which meant that the lights wouldn't turn on, the heat
wouldn't run and pretty soon their pipes froze, and the water stopped
flowing.
They were abandoned by those who are elected to serve and look out for
them. It's a symptom of a much larger problem that we have in Texas
right now.
Those in positions of public trust have stopped listening to serving and
paying attention to and trusting the people of Texas and so they're not
focused on the things that we really want them to do, like making sure
that we have a functioning electricity grid, or that we're creating the
best jobs in America right here in Texas, or that we have world-class
schools or that we make progress on the things that most of us actually
agree on, like expanding Medicaid or legalizing marijuana.
Instead, they're focusing on the kind of extremist policies around
abortion, or permitless carry, or even in our schools that really only
divide us and keep us apart and stop us from working together on the
truly big things that we want to achieve for one another. It's a really
small vision for such a big state.
But it doesn't have to be that way. And I know that together, we can get
back to being big again because I saw that in February when the
electricity grid failed, and those in power failed all of us, it was the
people of Texas who were willing to put their differences behind them
and get to work doing the job at hand, which meant helping our fellow
Texans get through that crisis.
We did this out of a sense of duty and responsibility to one another.
Now imagine if the governor of Texas felt that same way. Well, there's
something that you and I can do about that. I want you to be part of
this campaign. And whether that begins today with a campaign
contribution, or signing up for a volunteer shift, or just committing
yourself to talking with your friends and family about how important
this election is.
I want you on the team, and I want to win this with you and for you and
all the Texas people. I'm looking forward to seeing you out there on the
campaign trail. Thank you.
