Beto O'Rourke is returning to Texas' 254 counties

Beto O’Rourke, who famously campaigned across Texas’ 254 counties during his bid for U.S. Senate in 2018, is returning to every single county in the state.

Not as a candidate, but with his organization, Powered by People, which is directing the organizing muscle of new and old volunteers to make phone calls, send texts, and register likely Democratic voters across the state.

O’Rourke and his massive band of volunteers, through an aggressive voter registration and identification effort to reach likely Democrats, have helped register nearly 50,000 unregistered Democrats, made more than 1.2 million calls to Texas voters, and just in the past two weeks, sent more than 4 million texts to voters across the state — rural, urban, and suburban. All of the confirmed Democratic voters and their phone numbers that Powered by People identifies are shared with the Texas Democratic Party and Democratic candidates running up and down the ballot. A single Powered by People phone bank has gathered more than 800 volunteers who made more than 300,000 outbound calls to likely Democratic voters.

O’Rourke also recently announced a goal to make a stunning 15 million calls to Texas voters, more than half of the state’s population of 29 million.

2018 when he went all out and went to every county, even ours that is the most conservative voting district in America. He was there. He inspired so many and continues to do so. He's brought the party here together and is getting people registered. Beto will be our Gov one day, I can bet on that. 2022 Beto for Gov! Abbott has gotta go along with his corrupted cronies. They are willing to let Texans die for their rich overlords and Trump.
