Hey, John — it's
Chris.
I'm writing you from the back seat of the truck as Beto continues our
49-day drive to over 75 communities across Texas. We kicked off this Drive
for Texas in El Paso on Tuesday night, and the response so far has been
incredible.
In a minute, I'm going to explain more about our Drive for Texas. But
funding this many events across Texas takes a huge amount of resources, so
I have to ask: [ [link removed] ]If you're able, will you pitch in any amount now to help
us fund over 5,600 miles of travel to reach voters throughout this state?
Conventional wisdom says political candidates shouldn't go to areas that
traditionally vote for the other party. That's why Beto’s campaign is
different — we're going everywhere and talking to everyone.
Take Thursday for example: We started the day knocking on doors in Snyder
— a historically Republican stronghold with a population of just over
11,200. As we talked with voters at their doors, we kept hearing about the
importance of quality education, accessible health care, and new jobs.

After block walking, we headed to the County Library for a town-hall
discussion with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike — many of
whom said they've never seen a political candidate come to Snyder before.

We finished off the day with a thousand people in Lubbock — the biggest
crowd we've seen there since launching this campaign! Beto took time to
hear voters' concerns and shared his plan to deliver for rural Texas.

The communities we're going to on this drive have been taken for granted
by Greg Abbott for too long, but Beto is showing up for every single one
of them. If we keep this up, Abbott's going to be in for a real surprise
on election night when we do better in rural Texas than any Democrat has
done in decades.
But whether or not we overtake Abbott all depends on having the resources
to build the largest organizing program Texas has ever seen before.
[ [link removed] ]John, Beto is giving this
race his all, but he needs to know we have his back. Please, chip in
$3 or more now to fund our upcoming travel and play a key
role in this campaign to defeat Greg Abbott.
