You haven’t heard of him because he does almost nothing. No town halls, no bills, just helping to forge another legislator’s name on a vote. He is pro Trump, pro big business and Big Oil.

John Cornyn, Ken Paxton, Louie Gohmert and Dan Patrick.

To give the state a fighting chance while the cancer is in remission, have Beto and one of the Castro brothers as our replacement Senators, appointed by governor Cecile Richards, assisted by Lt. Governor Wendy Davis.
