Dear John,
I just met a supporter who told me that he’s all in for us and what we’re
trying to do for Texas and the country. He said that given his age, he’s
thinking about what kind of legacy and impact he’s going to leave for his
kids and grandkids given the extreme attacks on our rights and freedoms in
Texas under Greg Abbott.
“I just celebrated my 75th birthday,” he told me. “And the way I look at
it, I’m now in the fourth quarter.”
What that means for him is that, “We are all in, no matter what. Everyone
plays injured. We fight like hell with all we’ve got until the last second
ticks off that clock. And we win this thing.”
I like his spirit!
It’s how I think about this campaign and the time that we have left. With
only a little more than three months to go until early voting starts in
this election, we’re now in the fourth quarter. Every one of us has to
play our hearts out, no matter what. And we’ve got to win.
For me that means I’ll be in Dallas, Amarillo, and Uvalde this weekend,
and San Antonio on Monday. And we’ll keep this pace going, and even pick
it up, until the end. I am nonstop, talking to every eligible voter I can,
until the last ballot is cast on the night of November 8th.
For our more than 78,000 volunteers, that means knocking on the doors of
the voters who are going to decide the outcome of this election. Those in
person, face-to-face, conversations are one of the most powerful ways to
persuade a non-voter to register, or an infrequent voter to show up or a
swing voter to join our cause at this critical moment.
And for you — and the hundreds of thousands of donors who’ve stepped up
over the last seven months — [ [link removed] ]it means giving what you can now so that
we can fund the organizers, get the ads up on TV and social media, send
mail to the voters we’ve targeted in this election and reach the people
who might not otherwise know what’s at stake.
Abbott is reeling, and now is the time to press our advantage. You’ve seen
the polls over the last few weeks — each one showing us closer and closer
to overtaking Abbott as he becomes more unpopular and as more Texans say
our state is going in the wrong direction with him. On this trajectory and
pace, it’s only a matter of time before we’re ahead. How much time depends
on how hard we work and how much we can raise.
You’ve seen Texans showing up in record numbers at our events all over the
state. You’ve even heard your Republican friend say “I voted for Abbott
before, but after [insert their pick of the latest Abbott disasters: the
grid failure, gun violence, attacks on women’s rights, defunding our
public schools, etc.], I just can’t do so again.”

have the resources to get it done.
