Judges rules that the 127,000 already-cast votes from Harris County WILL be counted tomorrow! Huge update, John: A federal judge has dismissed the case from conservative Texas donors about throwing out 127,000 early-vote ballots in Harris County. This means those votes will be counted tomorr…

A short story about leaving it all on the field (Picture inside!)

John, I’m going to tell a short story about Beto’s first run for Congress, back in 2012. It was a very competitive primary, and Beto was up against an eight term incumbent. I was the Campaign Manager at the time, but our team was small – we only had one full-time paid staff member, and it w…
