For suburban districts like mine—well, that's the whole ball game.
And the news reports confirm what I'm already seeing here. In the past month, hundreds of former Republicans and independent voters in TX-2 have come out and publicly supported Beto and me.
The parents I bump into at the school pick-up line and at school board meetings—they're all voting Democrat this election. We're too damn worried about the next school shooting tragedy to vote Republican this year.
The women I see out and about—at the grocery stores, and running errands around town, at after-school events, and the Home Depot—nine times out of ten they're wearing ROE ROE ROE YOUR VOTE on their tee-shirt, or rocking a Ruth Bader Ginsberg pin. The women of Texas are furious—and they're going to make themselves heard this election.
An abortion ban with no exception for rape or incest is just too radical for Texas. Or anywhere else.
We Texans know that Republicans like my opponent Dan Crenshaw are at fault. So, I'm not surprised the TX GOP has had to pull out of suburban neighborhoods like mine. This simple fact is—we're turned ourselves Blue already.
