John, you need to see this. The race for Texas governor is extremely close. Beto O’Rourke is closing the gap in the polls with right-wing Republican Governor Greg Abbott.
Abbott—R: 42%
O’Rourke—D: 40%
Margin of error: +/- 3.2%
“Pretty much tied,” an ABC News affiliate in Texas reported over the weekend, and “well within the margin of error.”
This is no joke. The Texas governor’s race is up for grabs — and if you know Beto like I do, you know he’ll cover every square inch of Texas talking to every voter between now and November. But he needs the resources to do it.
Rush an urgent donation of $10, $25, or even $50 split between Beto’s campaign and ours to flip Texas blue and defend our House Majority today. Beto has the momentum, and this race is winnable, but we all need to do our part so his campaign has the grassroots support to win.

During his Senate run in 2018, Beto turned out more Democratic voters in Texas than anyone in history. Let me repeat that: more than anyone in history.
That’s no empty statistic — in 2018, Stacey Abrams’ campaign did the same thing in Georgia, just before Democrats flipped that state blue in 2020.
That same tectonic shift is possible in Texas, and it’s never been more urgent that we see it through this fall.
Beto’s opponent, Greg Abbott, is just... terrible. He’s directed the state’s child protection agency to investigate the parents of transgender children for child abuse. And that’s not all.
Voting rights, abortion rights, COVID protections — Abbott has thrown them all out the window in a vain effort to bolster his right-wing bonafides and juice his fundraising.
If Beto can win this race, it will send shockwaves throughout the nation. And Texas’ 38 electoral votes are no joke come November 2024.
This isn’t an empty hope, John. The numbers show that this is possible. But for Beto to have a good shot at this, he needs an army of grassroots supporters to have his back. Will you?
Pitch in $10, $25, or $50 to split between Beto’s campaign and mine. Help us flip Texas blue, protect our House Majority, and bring generational change to our country’s politics.
