We just outraised Greg Abbott in the latest fundraising report. But, we need to pick up our pace to win.
John,
We worked our hearts out to hit our fundraising goals before the latest Texas Ethics Commission (TEC) fundraising deadline, and the numbers just got made public. Thanks to you, we OUTRAISED Greg Abbott. Take a look:
Greg Abbott |
Nearly $25 million |
Beto O'Rourke |
$25.18 million |
- Here’s the good news: 98% of our money came in online. With nearly half a million contributions received in just three months, we’re running a true grassroots campaign — unlike Greg Abbott.
- But here’s the bad news: we didn’t raise enough to outweigh all the money Greg Abbott has in the bank. In order to win, we have to immediately pick up our pace. Remember, Greg Abbott started with a huge cash advantage. He’s dramatically outspent us (2.5x on TV and radio ads!).
That means we need a huge surge in grassroots fundraising to keep Beto’s momentum and win. Let’s get that started today — can you make a $3 donation right now to pick up our fundraising pace so we can out-raise Abbott, out-spend him in this final stretch, and defeat him once and for all?

John, we have to do three things to win right now.
✅ Knock on 5 million doors to turn out the vote.
✅ Get Beto in front of voters at town halls and rallies across the state.
❌ Significantly out-fundraise Greg Abbott to fight back against his attack ads on TV, digital, and radio.
That last part is where we’re falling short. Our field organizers and volunteers are closing the gap. Our ground game at rallies and town halls is helping a ton.
But if our grassroots fundraising doesn’t pick up ASAP, we won’t be able to go toe-to-toe with Greg Abbott on ads. He’s out-spent us 2.5-to-1 on the airwaves, and if that continues, it’ll be much harder for us to claim victory on November 8th.
John, can you rush a $3 contribution to Beto right now so we can out-fundraise and out-spend Greg Abbott in these final four weeks?
Every dollar we raise in these final weeks will have an outsized impact on our ability to win this race. That’s why emails like this are so important to our campaign. Thank you for all you’re doing to help us bring home a victory in this historic election.
