TX-23: Gina Ortiz Jones Campaign Hosts '100 Days Out Weekend of Action'

Last month’s virtual Texas Democratic Convention seemed to prove state Democrats’ commitment to doing all they can to ensure Democratic wins in the upcoming general election.

Over the weekend, Gina Ortiz Jones, the Democratic nominee in Texas’ 23rd Congressional District, hosted a weekend of action marking 100 days until Election Day. Her team reached out to more than 14,000 voters across South and West Texas, according to a campaign press release.

The stakes are high for Jones; she lost by a mere 926 votes when she ran for the seat two years ago.

Leaving no stone unturned, Jones’ team of grassroots volunteers and organizers hosted virtual, phone and text banks throughout the weekend, directly contacting voters about their candidate’s commitment to fighting for quality, affordable health care and investing in first-class education, trade schools, and skills training.

Texas’ mostly rural 23rd Congressional District stretches from San Antonio to El Paso.

While votes are still being counted in the Republican primary runoff between Tony Gonzales and Raul Reyes, Jones has been reaching out to voters since March from her virtual field office. She has also gone the extra mile to communicate in both English and Spanish in her campaign messaging.
