Hi John, it’s Mark Ruffalo here.
I am reaching out to you today to share why I’m enthusiastically supporting Beto O’Rourke for Governor of Texas.
Texas needs new leadership, John. Greg Abbott is a cruel and extreme governor who doesn’t have the people of Texas’ best interests at heart. He signed the most extreme abortion ban into law — it’s unconscionable that it has zero exception for rape or incest.
Greg Abbott also failed Texans last year when the power grid went out. Over 700 Texans lost their lives on his watch. After those lives were lost, Greg Abbott was left with a choice: serve the people of Texas by finally fixing the grid, or serve his major donors in the oil and gas industries by letting them off the hook for price gouging Texans. As you can guess, Abbott let those executives off the hook.
Beto has a positive vision for the future of Texas. He’s focused on issues that will improve Texans’ daily lives — world-class schools, expanding Medicaid, and great jobs that pay a living wage.
I’m supporting Beto for governor because I know that he’ll listen to and fight for every single Texan — Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike.
Please join me in supporting Beto. And, if you’re able, help make a $3 (or more!) contribution right now because every little bit helps. Early Voting has already started in Texas and there are just nine days left until November 8th, so we’re down to the wire.
