🚨Poll Alert🚨 The Attorney General race is neck and neck!

Hi Friend, have you seen our latest polling numbers? This is now a 2-point race, well within the margin of error, making our fight to unseat criminally-indicted Ken Paxton the closest statewide race in Texas! I’m so proud of the work our campaign has put in to reach this milestone. But Fri…

Kids are heading back to school, but are they safer?

Hi Friend, Today, millions of kids from across the state are going back to school. From watching my own mom prepare her classroom for the new year to seeing my own kids begin a new year of learning and growth, we Texans know that back to school season is special for families across our state. B…

We can't let our seniors down, Friend

We won't stand by while Republicans attack seniors' right to vote. Friend, Did you know that since Republicans passed their voter suppression bill (SB 1) last year, unprecedented numbers of mail ballot applications have been rejected? Even Willie Nelson and his wife’s applications were rejected! …

It’s time for Texas to get its cannabis act together

Check out my interview on Spectrum News 1 for all the details. Friend, We only have 3 months until Election Day and I need your help educating Texans about cannabis and the irony that is Sid Miller’s sudden endorsement of the plant. It’s no secret that I am passionate about the crop. As Texas’…

Did you see this 🤬 video of Beto?

Beto let it fly, and I don't blame him one bit. Friend, Texas Democrats take pride in going high when Republicans go low. But last night in Mineral Wells – Beto let it fly. And honestly, I don't blame him one bit. There is nothing cute or funny about the gun violence epidemic running rampant in…

CPAC is not welcome in Texas

Hi Friend, This weekend, the most extreme Republicans from across the country will attend the annual CPAC Convention in Dallas to beat their chests about the out-of-touch policies they’re shoving down the throats of Americans. The values espoused by the speakers at CPAC -- from voicing QAnon su…

Friend, they’ve gone too far

Hi Friend, Last week, our Texas Republican Congressional delegation proved yet again how far they are willing to go to take our state back to the dark ages. Nearly all of them voted against protecting access to contraception and same-sex marriage. In 2022, that's unacceptable. Friend, Republica…

On July 11th, join Beto, Eugene, and Texas Democrats!

Hey Friend, The last few weeks have been nothing short of terrifying. Texans no longer have autonomy over their own bodies, facing some of the most restrictive abortion bans in the entire country. Not to mention, SCOTUS further blurred the line between church and state by ruling in favor of teac…

how we’re fighting back
