John,

We're fighting to Flip the South and that is why I’m excited to tell you that we’ve endorsed Beto O’Rourke for Governor in Texas.

A native of El Paso and a fourth-generation Texan, Beto was elected to represent his hometown and the 16th District in the U.S. House in 2012, winning in a race against an eight-term incumbent.

Now he's taking on Greg Abbott, the Governor of Texas who used false claims of widespread voter fraud to make it harder for millions of Texans to vote.

We need to make sure Beto has the resources to tell voters the truth about how Greg Abbott continues to put the interests of wealthy campaign contributors ahead of everyday people.

Check out Beto’s ad detailing why he is running and then support his people-powered campaign by chipping in $10 or (whatever you can afford) immediately.

Greg Abbott's major claims to fame are suppressing the right to vote, taking away a women’s right to choose, and going on Fox News to spread blatant misinformation while millions of his Texans went without power for days during freezing temperatures. On the flip side, Beto is all in on expanding democracy, fighting for reproductive justice, and building a modern energy grid using renewable energy.

Skeptics may think that it is impossible for a Democrat like Beto to have a chance to unseat Abbott in Texas this year… but just 3 years ago, Beto O’Rourke was less than 3 points from winning a crucial Senate seat in Texas.

This shows that with a strong people-powered campaign, we have a real chance to kick Abbott out of office and elect a progressive Democrat as the next Governor of Texas.

With your help, we can deliver a devastating loss to the GOP and elect a true representative of the people in Texas come this November.
