the countdown begins

Hi Friend, Today, we’re starting the countdown: 365 days until Election Day 2022. We can’t afford to waste a single moment. We have just one short year until we finally have our opportunity to take back our state from the failed leadership of Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans. If we’re going t…

what’s scarier than losing a seat in the Texas House? pretty much nothing

Hi Friend, It’s Halloween, and this year, nothing is scarier to me than losing a Democratic seat in the Texas House. That’s what’s at stake in the critical election happening in San Antonio in just two days. We’re working around the clock to protect this seat and send Frank Ramirez to the Texas …

Trick or Treat! Vote for Frank Ramirez in HD 118

Hi Friend, It’s Halloween weekend and as a San Antonian, I’m so excited to be knocking on doors in my hometown. But this time we won’t be saying “Trick or Treat” -- we’ll be fighting for every last vote to elect Frank Ramirez in the critical HD 118 election. There are only three days left until…

the Governor’s Mansion? more like the Haunted Mansion

Hi Friend, Halloween is right around the corner, but Governor Abbott is still the scariest thing in Texas. Time and again, Abbott has put the lives of Texans on the line for his own personal gain, and honestly, nothing is scarier than that. The terrifying way Governor Abbott has governed our sta…

the worst kind of scary

Hi Friend, We all love a little scare around Halloween, whether it’s haunted houses or scary movies. But when scary turns to “downright terrifying” and “affecting the lives of people across the state,” well, let’s just say that makes Halloween a whole lot less fun. Friend, by now, you probably …

[BREAKING] Holocaust denial is entering our classrooms because of Republicans’ shameful law

Hi Friend, The news just broke: because of Texas Republicans’ law censoring our education system, teachers are being pushed to teach Holocaust denial in our schools. Friend, since Republicans’ H.B. 3979 took effect last month, this hateful law is forcing educators to teach “both sides” of every…

important news about the fight to protect abortion rights
