Brothers, sisters, and siblings -- this is Rick Levy, President of the Texas AFL-CIO.
Right now, our 240,000 union members are all in to elect Beto O’Rourke as the next governor of Texas -- because he stands with working people. New polling shows Beto can defeat Greg Abbott, and we are doing everything in our power to make that happen.
Democracy is under attack in our country and in our workplace. The rules are in serious need of being rewritten -- and Beto has a pro-worker plan to get that done.
Whether we work the early shift or the late shift, our teachers, firefighters, farmworkers, doctors and nurses, steelworkers and stagehands organizing like hell for Beto because he will:
- Pursue the Texas Climate Jobs Project -- which was literally written by steelworkers, pipefitters, electricians, and plumbers -- to create over 1 million union jobs to power our state and country into a sustainable future
- Resist the extremist attacks on reproductive rights, which are central to the lives of working families
- Fully fund a public education system that respects educators, allows them to teach the truth, and pays them what they deserve
- End the diversionary attacks on immigrants, trans kids, and anyone who doesn’t feed at Greg Abbott’s corporate trough
Our members are out there in the field working hard to reach every voter across this state, but it’s going to take all of us to change the direction in Texas.
Together, we can rewrite the rules and set a new course. This is our challenge -- and it is our power. Together, we can make Beto O’Rourke the next governor of Texas.
In solidarity,
Rick Levy
President, Texas AFL-CIO
