Washington or Trump?

How do we take Texas back?

Throughout the week we had seen giant beams of light moving through the night sky over El Paso and Ciudad Juárez. Dear John, Last year 17 Texas State House Republicans won their election by less than 10 points. We can flip these seats by reaching un-registered Democrats.  There are almost 90,000…
