Hey John,
In just a moment, I’m going to humbly ask you to make a $3 donation to elect Beto as the next governor of Texas. But before I do, I hope you’ll give me a minute to explain why donating today in particular is so important.
Tonight at midnight is our Texas Ethics Commission (TEC) fundraising deadline. It’s the biggest deadline we’ve faced in the entirety of the campaign. Every donation made before midnight tonight will go on our public report.
Greg Abbott’s team, pundits, and the press will be watching closely to see how much we raise. If we raise a lot, it sends a powerful message about the strength of Beto’s grassroots campaign. It shows we can compete and win.
But it’s not just about optics. Greg Abbott has outspent us by 4x on TV and radio advertising. Because of your hard work, Beto's held on in the polls — and even closed the gap a bit. But to take the lead in these final weeks, we need to majorly increase our spending and go toe-to-toe with Abbott.
Tonight is the most important fundraising deadline we’ve ever set, John. We’re 85% of the way toward our goal — and if enough of you donate right now, we can smash that goal and out-fundraise Greg Abbott.
John, I know that we ask a lot. We’re asking for your volunteer time, and your financial support. We do it because we know that with enough grassroots support, Beto can win and make consequential change for millions of Texans.
If you can’t donate today, that’s okay. But if even 1-in-4 people reading my message right now choose to click that button and make a donation, we’d exceed our goal in a matter of hours. So, if you can be one of those supporters to step up today, please add a $3 contribution now ahead of our big TEC deadline.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for everything.
Nick Rathod
Campaign Manager, Beto for Texas
