Beto’s veto power could be our last line of defense in Texas.
John,
There are so many reasons Texas will benefit if we elect a Governor who truly cares about the people of this state.
But one reason that doesn’t get talked about as much as it should? Veto power.
As Governor, Beto will have the power to stop extreme legislation that hurts us — like voter suppression schemes, hate-fueled anti-LGBTQ+ bills, or corrupt tax loopholes for the ultra-wealthy. Look to Kentucky for a recent example, where the governor just vetoed a radical anti-trans bill (one that Abbott would have signed in a flash.)
A donation to our campaign today will help us put Beto at the governor’s desk, where he will only give his signature to laws that serve the people of Texas. We’re relying completely on grassroots resources to win this election. With the stakes this high, will you pitch in now?
Let’s review just a few of the devastating bills that Greg Abbott has signed into law:
- A historic voter suppression law that has already made national headlines for wreaking havoc on our elections
- A cruel abortion ban that has stolen reproductive freedoms from millions
- A dangerous permitless carry measure that allows almost any Texan to carry a loaded gun in public without a background check
And if Greg Abbott gets another four years in office, we can only expect worse. Extreme far-right attacks on women, LGBTQ+ folks, and democracy itself are on the rise across the country. If these trends continue, Beto’s veto power could be our last line of defense in Texas.
Beto is running for Governor to get past the corruption, bigotry, and fringe policies that have defined Abbott’s time in office. But it’s going to take all of us to make it happen. Will you pitch in your first donation now to help us elect new leadership in Texas?

We need a governor who is focused on the big things — great jobs, world-class schools, and the ability to see a doctor. Beto is running to deliver on that positive, unifying vision that will help the people of Texas.
Thank you for showing your support today,
Beto for Texas
