I'm fired up.
This weekend, I joined my friend Rep. Sylvia Garcia and labor leaders in Austin ahead of the March 1st Texas primary to get out the vote for Greg Casar — a proven community leader running for Congress in TX-35 who consistently puts working families first:
Expanding our progressive coalition in the House starts with strong candidates like Greg, who is ready to dive headfirst into our tough but necessary fights on Medicare for All, climate action, creating good jobs, affordable housing, and so much more. But this primary in Texas is a big one — and as the first congressional primary of this midterm election year, what we achieve now could set the tone for the rest of the cycle.
So I have to ask: Can you contribute $3 today to help our movement elect more progressives and defend the Democratic majority in Congress? We can’t afford to fall short — not with so much on the line for working people:
If you want to read more about our year-round organizing work, I’m attaching our team’s email from over the weekend down below.

Regardless of the election cycle, our team is always working to organize communities, register voters, and build progressive power. Last year, we made over 100,000 calls to voters, and we are gearing up to help elect Democrats like Greg Casar in the upcoming Texas primaries.
In-person early voting has already begun in Texas — and Pramila is in Texas right now getting out the vote for Greg. The 2022 election cycle is officially underway.
Pramila is proud to run a year-round organizing program. Many elected officials wait until September of an election year to begin their organizing efforts. Team Pramila believes in doing things a little differently — we organize all year, every year because we know power cannot be built in a span of a few weeks.
Pramila started out as an organizer, fighting locally (and successfully) to raise the minimum wage in Seattle to $15. She hasn’t stopped being an organizer and she won’t stop knocking doors and building power for the people.
We’ll be sure to update you on Pramila’s trip to Texas and her organizing work across the country as this election year continues.
In solidarity,
Team Jayapal
