Dear John,
I just spent 49 days on the road, holding more than 70 events across the
state of Texas to meet the voters who will decide this election right
where they are.
[ [link removed] ]I want to share an update from the road, but if you're ready to help us
win on November 8th, will you make a $3 contribution right
now?
From Greenville in Hunt County — where we filled the school gym to its
500-person capacity only to find more than 300 additional attendees
waiting outside after we finished — to Austin, Houston and Dallas where we
met voters in greater numbers than in 2018 or anytime that I can remember,
it’s clear that something big is happening in Texas.

People want change. They’re sick and tired of a governor who attacks
women, who attacks teachers, who attacks immigrants and who attacks the
very right to vote. They won’t accept losing power for days in the energy
capital of the world or paying higher utility bills as a result because
the man in charge decided to stick ratepayers with the bill for his
failure.
They want to get past the extremism and chaos, the incompetence and
cruelty, and focus our resources and attention on the big things that
bring us together — world-class public schools, creating better and
higher-paying jobs and bringing $10 billion of our federal income taxes
back to Texas to connect more people to health care.

And I’m not talking about what I’m hearing from Democrats. I’m talking
about what I’m hearing from Texans. Because in Hemphill, at least half of
the attendees were Republicans, many wearing MAGA hats and shirts. But
they came out because they want something better. It was the same in Dumas
and Pampa, Quanah and Pecos, Pittsburg and Palestine. Everywhere we went,
people of good faith and conscience came together not for themselves or
their political party, but for this state. Democrats, Republicans and
Independents who define themselves as Texans before anything else.

And in each town I visited, it was clear that Abbott had never shown up to
meet with, listen to and learn from the people he’s supposed to be
serving. In rural Texas, it’s because he thinks he’s got those voters in
the bag. In bigger cities, it’s because he’s written them off. That leaves
a Texas-sized opportunity for us and our campaign.
To everyone who came out to see us during these 49 days — from Eagle Pass
to Amarillo, Port Arthur to El Paso, and all points in between — thank you
for choosing to meet this moment with your energy, your enthusiasm and
your action. We now have more than 90,000 volunteers — many who joined
during these events — signed up to knock on doors and meet voters where
they are.

[ [link removed] ]It’s because of your support and hundreds of thousands of people who
believe in what we’re fighting for that we’re able to go up against Greg
Abbott and his corporate mega-donors. But I need your help to finish these
last eight weeks strong. Will you make a contribution today?

I’m looking forward to pushing even harder during these last 50+ days of
the campaign, and winning it for you and with you.
See you on the trail,
Beto
