Wayne Christian is too out of touch to continue on the Railroad Commission

This is the most important climate race in the country, Friend Hi y’all! With only one week left in this election, thousands of Texans have voted. My incumbent opponent Wayne Christian has repeatedly proven that he’s completely out of touch. He’s spent this race talking about issues that have n…

I’m headed to South Texas with Michelle Vallejo

Let’s give Dan Patrick the boot

Hi Friend, Early Voting has started in Texas! The time we’ve spent traveling across the state talking to voters about the issues -- it’s all led to this moment. And if we vote, we win. This election is about the fight for the future of our state. It’s about reining in property taxes by closing …

We’re so close to defeating Ken Paxton

Friend, My race to be Texas’ next Attorney General is effectively a tie. Recent polling from the Democratic Attorneys General Association shows the margin here is razor thin -- which means we have a REAL chance to win this seat. That’s why I'm fighting tooth and nail to defeat criminally-indicte…

150 days since the massacre in Uvalde

And Republicans have done nothing to stop another school shooting. Friend, I remember watching in horror when 20 children and 6 adults were killed at Sandy Hook in 2012. Then again, in 2018, I was shaken to my core when 14 students and 3 teachers were slaughtered in the Parkland school shooting.…

TX Republicans’ attack on public education affects the whole country

Friend, It’s no secret that public education is under constant attack by Texas Republicans. Led by extremists like Dan Patrick, they’re hellbent on defunding our public schools and funneling those funds to vouchers for private schools. They’re taking a page straight out of the fascist playbook …

Too cowardly to debate

What are Republicans so afraid of? Hi Friend, I think we can all agree that it’s only fair that the people who want to represent us in government ought to face their opponents and answer a few constructive questions. Then tell me -- why is almost every Texas Republican refusing to debate? Well F…

Abbott’s donors are running and ruining higher ed

Friend, We know Greg Abbott is as corrupt as they come, and he never misses an opportunity to prove that to Texans. Turns out our state’s colleges and universities are mostly run by Abbott’s campaign donors. Add your name if you think political appointments should be based on merit, not political …

Hi Friend, have you heard the great news? Beto is closing the gap in the race for Governor, and now this race is neck and neck. The latest polling has Beto trailing by just 4 points, and with a 4 point margin of error, this race is now too close to call. In the final weeks of this race, Beto is …

I’m all in for Michelle Vallejo

Hi Friend, In case you haven’t heard, Michelle Vallejo’s race in TX-15 has been declared a toss-up! This is huge considering the amount of Republican dark money pouring into this race and the way the Texas GOP gerrymandered the hell out of South Texas. Michelle has been fighting her ass off, bu…

we’ll never give up on South Texas

Hi Friend, For too long, national Democrats in Washington have taken the Rio Grande Valley for granted -- writing off my community as just another small blue cluster on the map that could be reliably counted on cycle after cycle. Over the last two years, we’ve watched Republicans pour untold am…

one month away

Friend, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Election Day is just one month away. Let me be blunt: we CANNOT trust Texas Republicans to be in power for another 4 years. There's no telling what horrible, dystopian BS they have up their sleeves, and it's scary to know the SCOTUS has their back. We…

protecting Texans’ right to vote

Hi Friend, In this election and more than ever, it’s critical that Texans’ right to vote is protected. As the Texas GOP works to block access to the ballot box and dismantle our democracy, we need your support to defend our sacred right to vote. While extremists wish to deny the right to vote, w…
