John,
We're coming up on the halfway mark of our 49-day, more than 5,600 mile Drive for Texas, which is taking Beto back to more than 65 counties for over 75 events this summer.
We’re going to share a few highlights from our first 24 days on the road in a moment, but first, we want to ask: Will you chip in $3 right now to help us power the second half of our Drive for Texas and keep Beto on the road?
When Beto showed up in Rockdale last Friday, he became the first gubernatorial candidate to visit the community since the 1960s! That’s where we met some incredible folks like Natalia who has been going door to door in Spanish and English to register voters in her community. This is the exact kind of organizing and dedication that's going to ensure we have the votes to defeat Greg Abbott.
With Natalia in RockdaleEverywhere we're going, we're hearing from lifelong Republicans about why they're supporting Beto in this election. In Madisonville, Beto heard from an educator who said "I haven’t voted for a Democrat for governor in Texas ever — but I will this year." He’s supporting Beto because Beto supports teachers and has a plan to improve public education.
MadisonvilleIn Waxahachie, we had a space booked for 250 people but had to move outside onto the street because more than 1,200 folks showed up for what a longtime reporter from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram called a "block-long crowd." Can you spot Beto, John?
WaxahachieEvery single day we're meeting teachers, nurses, ranchers, doctors, students, parents, Republicans, Democrats, first-time voters, Independents, and every Texan in between who are supporting Beto because they are ready to overcome Greg Abbott’s extremism and move our state forward.
Beto is showing up for people who have been ignored by Abbott for years. He is putting in the work each day, but winning on November 8th all depends on having the resources to build the largest organizing program in Texas history.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Team Beto
