The race for Texas governor is “a race to watch in 2022”
John, it's official: CNN has listed our people-powered movement to defeat Greg Abbott and elect Beto as a top state race to watch in 2022.
Texans are done with Abbott's dangerous, extreme, and cruel agenda, and our movement — with 80,000 volunteers — to elect Beto is getting stronger each day. But if we're going to overcome Abbott's millions of dollars in special interest funding, we can't afford to let any of our organizing work slow down.
Abbott has repeatedly turned his back on Texans. Just take a look at his record:
❌ Abbott abandoned Texas during his grid failure, leaving millions without power and leaving over 700 Texans to lose their lives during February's deadly winter storm. Now, our utility bills are up an average of $45 a month thanks to him.
❌ Abbott signed a bill into law that allows anyone to carry a loaded gun in public with no background check, permit, or training — and he has taken no action to prevent another mass shooting after the six to happen on his watch.
❌ Abbott signed into law the most extreme abortion ban in the country, which bans abortion without any exception for rape or incest.
❌ Abbott is pushing an effort to defund public education in Texas by taking our public tax dollars out of our kids’ classrooms and sending them away from our communities.
Beto has what it takes to defeat Abbott, but we'll need your help to turn out a historic number of voters this year. Please, will you donate $3 or more right now to help fuel our organizing program, get ads up on the air, and go up against Abbott's corporate mega-donors so we elect Beto on November 8?
Let's do this,
Beto for Texas
