We'll have to make our fundraising numbers public with the Texas Ethics Commission for the very first time.
John,
In a moment, we're going to urgently ask you for your first donation before Friday's end-of-year deadline to help elect Beto as Texas' next Governor.
Here's why this is so important: Friday doesn't just mark the end of 2021, it marks the end of our reporting period — after which we'll have to make our fundraising numbers public with the Texas Ethics Commission for the very first time.
What we're able to raise before January 1st will have an outsized impact on this race, so we've set a goal to raise an additional $500,000 in online grassroots donations before midnight on December 31st.
Reporters have already started to reach out and ask if we're going to post record-breaking numbers, and our opponents are closely watching to see if we'll have the strength to go up against Greg Abbott's $55 million war chest.
Releasing a big number will show that we have the momentum to make history and win, but first, we need to pick up the pace to hit our $500,000 goal by Friday. Can you chip in $3 or more to help hit this goal and defeat Abbott once and for all?
Since we launched last month, all eyes have been on our campaign to see if Beto has what it takes to flip Texas blue, and national political pundits are just waiting for the chance to publish a story on why Democrats shouldn't waste their time in Texas.
But we know the truth, John: Texans are ready for change. We're ready to kick those who only care about themselves out of office and build a big, bold vision for Texas. And that starts with hitting Friday's goal, so we have to ask again:
Please, will you contribute $3 or more today? Your donation will help show Texans, our opponents, and the country that there's real momentum behind Beto and this people-powered campaign.
Contribute $3
Thank you, John. We'll keep you updated.
— Beto for Texas
