RE: the engine

Well, we officially blew the engine in my car. (No, seriously!) After nearly a year of campaigning across TX-23, the engine in my car FINALLY burned out. You don’t have to live in TX-23 to appreciate just how big this district really is. Can you rush a contribution right now so …

The next 24 hours

Team, Our next fundraising deadline is tomorrow, and everything we raise between now and tomorrow will go toward our Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) efforts as we kick into overdrive between now and when polling places close on Election Day! We’ve watched John’s message resonate with vote…

One thing we know for sure — Tony Gonzales is a true hypocrite.

It’s official: Tony Gonzales is a true hypocrite. Before I go on, can you chip in $10 or more to our campaign right now? With 3 days left to go, we can’t let Tony’s campaign drown out our message. Tony never misses a chance to “honor our veterans” on social media. But the truth is…

It means a lot to know you are with me

I’m not excited to tell you this, but my team just sent over fundraising stats for the month. Our online fundraising numbers have taken a serious downturn the last few days. Take a look: 1. Our total raised for October was less than September. 2. We’ve received 167 fewer contributi…

News

Friends — As we were closing the office for the day, someone sent us a recent news article published by the Daily Kos. The news article couldn’t paint a more clear picture of who Tony Gonzales truly is — even taking us back to 2020 when Gonzales squirmed for what felt like an eter…

Before midnight

I knew that Tony Gonzales was a terrible representative. But I didn’t know it was this bad. The San Antonio Current just reported that Tony got a FAILING grade on a democracy legislation scoreboard! Out of 18 possible pro-democracy votes, Tony only took TWO of them. Mark my word…

We know the choice couldn’t be clearer

Hi everyone, John Lira's race is one of the most competitive Congressional races in the state, and TX-23 needs a better representative than Tony Gonzales. John is fighting for working communities, to bring justice to Uvalde's families, and to secure a better future for the next gen…

I won't sugarcoat it — this will be TOUGH

It’s John here. Last month, I was thrilled to see so many of our supporters step up and help my campaign. But I won’t sugarcoat it: The election is not over, and the next week will be the toughest yet. In fact, it will be the most expensive week for our campaign. So before I go a…

No response from Tony Gonzales

I’m out in the district today, wrapping up some final campaign stops for the day, and wondering when I’ll get a response from Tony Gonzales about a debate in this race. In case you missed it, I sent a certified letter to Tony a few weeks ago challenging him to a debate — and I have…
