We have the grassroots advantage, but we can’t suffer a blowout on the money side.
We'll get right to it, John.
Our next Texas Ethics Commission (TEC) financial reporting deadline is coming up on June 30th, and we simply can't afford to be outraised by Greg Abbott again — not with less than five months until Election Day.
Here’s a reminder of how fundraising has gone so far:

Who reported more money raised, Beto or Abbott? |

Greg Abbott |
Thanks to his corporate mega-donors, Greg Abbott has outraised us in every filing period since Beto joined the race. But the good news is that we've shown that we have far more grassroots support than Greg Abbott.
Wednesday is the mid-month mark before our next TEC deadline, and it’s vital we show Texans that we have what it takes to finally match Abbott’s resources. That's why we’re reaching out today to see if you can help pick up the pace and ensure we outraise Abbott this time around.
John, we've set a goal to raise $254,000 — $1,000 for every Texas county — by Wednesday at midnight, and falling short is not an option. Please, pitch in your first $3 contribution right now.
Contribute $3
Your donation before Wednesday’s deadline is a critical investment in the campaign we're building to take on Abbott. Every dollar will go towards the infrastructure we need to run the largest grassroots campaign Texas has ever seen. And it will show that we can win without a cent from corporate PACs.
We're already making history. We have over 70,000 volunteers — writing letters, calling voters, and talking to Texans at their door. Beto is drawing big crowds to his campaign stops. And CNN just declared our campaign a top race to watch in 2022.
But, if we're going to reach our goals and win this election, we can't suffer a blowout on the money side.
We’re asking you personally, John: Can Beto count on you to be one of the supporters we need to step up and chip in to help raise $254,000 in grassroots donations before Wednesday night?
Thanks for everything you do,
Beto for Texas
