With the Supreme Court's open hostility to 50 years of hard-fought gains at the national level, more battles will be ultimately decided by state governors.
In Texas and elsewhere that means a stark choice. CNN reports that across the country, "More than half the GOP governor nominees have questioned or denied the legitimacy of the 2020 election." Election denial goes hand-in-hand with extreme positions on climate denial, abortion, civil rights, voter suppression, guns, and more.
But the New York Times reports that in contrast, "Beto O’Rourke stresses broadly popular positions: expanding Medicaid, canceling statewide school assessment tests, cutting property taxes, legalizing marijuana."
2022 is a tipping point. Four years ago, Republicans won governorships in solidly blue states like Massachusetts, Maryland, and Vermont! This year, we must win blue states -- and could elect rockstars like Beto in traditionally red states.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
