Will you help Beto today, John?
The threat we’ve been warning about for months just became real, John: Greg Abbott is officially launching his very first statewide TV ad of the general election.
Here’s what the Dallas Morning News says about Abbott’s big spending: “The buy costs at least $3 million and is the opening salvo in a media campaign that could approach $100 million.”
John, we mean it when we say Abbott’s TV ads are one the biggest threats to our chances of winning. We urgently need our grassroots supporters to mobilize and help counter Abbott’s ad spending as soon as possible. It’s especially important because today’s the last day to reach our $300,000 mid-month goal.
Please, will you step up right now and donate $3 or whatever you can to help compete with Abbott’s TV ads?

A lot is happening in this race right now. Beto’s momentum is surging, bringing him within just a few points of taking the lead. And Abbott has finally agreed to debate Beto, which will be a pivotal chance to draw the contrast for Texas voters on the fence between our unifying vision and Abbott’s extremism.
But we’re in a high-stakes battle for the airwaves. Abbott has already booked nearly $20 million in ads for the fall and has pledged to spend $100 million attacking us — and we can’t afford to let him drown Beto out.
Thousands of your fellow supporters have donated toward our mid-month goal, but we urgently need your help to close the gap before midnight, John:
Will you chip in now so we can reach our mid-month goal before midnight, match Abbott’s $100 million in attacks, and elect Beto as the next governor of Texas in November?
With gratitude,
Team Beto
