Beto O'Rourke is officially the Democratic nominee for Governor and will take on Greg Abbott in November.

Hi Friend,

Beto O’Rourke is officially our Democratic nominee for Governor, and Texas Democrats are ready to take on Greg Abbott this November.

Beto not only knows Texas is a battleground state, he knows how to organize. He has inspired millions to make our state a better place for everyone who calls Texas home.

That’s not just progress -- that's transformative. Because when Beto is governor, we’ll have the opportunity to fundamentally change our state. Change that is long overdue.

While we remain optimistic about this year’s election, the fact is that Republican Governor Greg Abbott has been amassing one of the largest campaign war chests in the nation because he’s afraid of our movement. He’s afraid of our power.

We're overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from people across our state and country. However, if we’re going to elect Beto O’Rourke and defeat Greg Abbott, we’re going to need thousands of contributions from everyday working people to overcome the millions of dollars Abbott’s corporate donors are throwing at this election.

With only eight months left to register and mobilize Democratic voters in every corner of the state, we need to make the most of this momentum.

Friend, we can’t do it without you. Will you make your first donation of $7 by splitting a contribution between Beto O’Rourke’s campaign and your Texas Democratic Party right now so we can fire Greg Abbott in November?

Friend, we need you with us now more than ever. Your time, your hard work, your faith that change is possible -- that’s what’s ultimately going to defeat Greg Abbott.

Now, it’s on us to win this.

Adelante,

Gilberto Hinojosa
Chair, Texas Democratic Party
